Sarah Loos

Dr. Sarah Loos is an independent postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP), University of Cambridge, and a Research Fellow at Corpus Christi College. Her work focuses on theoretical descriptions of nonequilibrium systems, integrating statistical physics, thermodynamics, control theory, and nonlinear dynamics.

• PhD in Statistical Physics (TU Berlin, 2020)
• Marie-Curie and DFG Walter-Benjamin Fellow
• Key research areas: stochastic thermodynamics, non-Markovian processes, active matter, nonreciprocal systems

Her research explores entropy production, time-reversal asymmetry, and collective dynamics in active matter. She has received multiple awards, including the Royal Society of Chemistry's Early Career Award (2024) and Springer Thesis Award (2020). Recent publications emphasize nonreciprocal interactions, optimal control protocols, and memory effects in complex systems.

Scientific Awards:

• Early Career Award (2024)
• Marie-Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship (2022)
• DFG Walter-Benjamin Fellowship (2022)
• SKM Dissertation Prize (2021)
• Carl Ramsauer Preis (2020)
