Giorgio Sangiovanni

Giorgio Sangiovanni is a Professor and Chair of Computational Quantum Materials at the University of Würzburg, affiliated with the Institute for Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics. His research focuses on theoretical and computational studies of quantum materials, topological phases, superconductivity, and strongly correlated electron systems. Key areas include the development of advanced computational methods for quantum impurity problems, electronic structure calculations, and analysis of correlated materials like kagome metals, topological insulators, and Weyl semimetals.

His work explores phenomena such as charge order, van Hove singularities, electron-phonon coupling, and topological edge states. Recent studies highlight strain effects, phonon-driven phase transitions, and the interplay between spin, orbital, and lattice dynamics. He leads the Sangiovanni Group, which employs methods like density-functional theory (DFT) combined with dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) to study complex electronic systems.

Publications emphasize theoretical insights into novel quantum materials, with applications ranging from superconductivity to topological electronics. Advising PhD and Master’s students, his group contributes to advancing computational tools and understanding emergent phenomena in correlated materials.
