معرفی
Maurits W. Haverkort is a Professor at the Institute for Theoretical Physics of Heidelberg University, Germany. His research focuses on correlated electron systems, developing numerical methods such as the Quanty software package for quantum many-body simulations. He leads a group exploring spectroscopic techniques (XAS, RIXS) and dynamical properties of complex materials, with applications to transition metal compounds, topological insulators, and actinides. His work bridges theory and experiment, emphasizing predictive modeling of electronic, magnetic, and optical properties.
Education details include postdoctoral research under Prof. Bernhard Keimer at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research. He has taught advanced courses on condensed matter theory and computational methods at Heidelberg University. Collaborations involve global institutions like the University of Saskatchewan and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Key research directions include: (1) Development of Quanty for solving many-body problems via second quantization; (2) Spectroscopic tools for bond covalency and 5f-electron counting in actinides; (3) Neutrino mass determination via electron capture studies in Ho-163; (4) Exploring spin-orbit coupling effects in topological materials. His group has pioneered femtometer-precision vibrational metrology and ultrafast laser-controlled quantum dynamics.
Funding includes leadership roles in DFG Research Units FOR 2202 (ECHo experiment), FOR 1346 (LDA+DMFT methods), and EU projects like MetroMMC. His team manages computational resources on Heidelberg's bwForCluster, emphasizing high-performance computing for correlated systems.
