Lauriane Chomaz

Lauriane Chomaz is a Junior Professor (Tenure-track) at Heidelberg University's Institute of Physics and a Principal Investigator at EINC. She specializes in dipolar quantum systems and many-body physics, with a focus on ultracold atomic gases and their phase transitions, particularly supersolidity and superfluidity. Her work bridges experimental and theoretical approaches in quantum simulations.

• Education: PhD in Physics (2014, ENS Paris), Master in Fundamental Physics (2010, ENS/X), Engineer Diploma (2010, X).
• Awards: ERC Starting Grant Evaluation (2021), Elise Richter Fellowship (2020), Early Career Award (2018), Marie Curie Fellowship (2016), Hugot Prize (2014), L'Oréal/UNESCO Award (2012).

Her research explores quantum phenomena in reduced dimensions, such as roton excitations, coherence, and density modulation in dipolar gases. She has contributed to understanding scale-invariant equations of state and the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition in 2D Bose gases. Her recent work includes quantum-stabilized states and phase transitions in dipolar systems.
