معرفی
Prof. Dr. Stella Stopkowicz holds the Professorship for Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the Department of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Saarland University. Her research focuses on high-accuracy quantum-chemical methods for atoms and molecules in strong magnetic fields, with applications in astrochemistry and white dwarf star spectra. She employs coupled-cluster theory, Cholesky decomposition techniques, and relativistic quantum chemistry to model systems under extreme magnetic conditions.
- Education: Details not explicitly mentioned in the text.
Her work reveals novel bonding mechanisms in magnetic fields, such as the triplet-state H2 molecule becoming bound due to orbital reorganization. She leads the Stopkowicz Group, which collaborates with institutions in Mainz, Göttingen, and Luxembourg, and contributes to European Summerschools and MMQC conferences. Her group develops multiscale approaches for large systems and investigates polaritonic systems in quantum cavities.
Recent publications highlight her Cholesky-decomposed coupled-cluster methods for efficient calculations, magnetizability predictions in extreme fields, and polaritonic response functions. She received the IAQMS Medal (2024) for her contributions.
Advisees: Elena Paulus, Davide Cianchino, Christopher-Matthias Röper, Simon Blaschke, Marios-Petros Kitsaras, and Laura Grazioli. Her team participates in DFG SFB 1633 (Electron Transfer via Proton-Coupled Processes) and European collaborative projects.
Labs/Teams: The Stopkowicz Group at Saarland University, with alumni in institutions like Mainz and Paris. They engage in quantum cavity research (Szabolcs Góger) and method development for magnetic field applications.
