German physicist
Corinna Susan Kollath (born 21 April 1976) is a Scottish-born German theoretical and computational physicist whose research involves ultracold gases , the many-body problem , and out-of-equilibrium low dimensional correlated systems in quantum mechanics . She is a professor at the University of Bonn [ 1]
Education and career
Kollath was born on 21 April 1976 in Stirling .[ 1] [ 2] She studied physics at the University of Cologne ,[ 3] with a year at the University of Glasgow where she earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics in 1998, with first-class honours.[ 4] Returning to Cologne, she completed a diploma in 2001 under the supervision of Martin Zirnbauer . Next, she did doctoral research at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich with Jan von Delft [de ] and Ulrich Schollwöck [de ] , but completed her doctorate at RWTH Aachen University in 2005.[ 3]
She was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Geneva and the École polytechnique in France,[ 1] in 2008 continuing at the École polytechnique as a researcher for the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). She took an associate professorship at the University of Geneva in 2011[ 3] and in 2013 moved to her present position as a full professor of theoretical quantum physics at the University of Bonn .[ 1]
Recognition
Kollath was the 2009 winner of the Hertha Sponer Prize [de ] of the German Physical Society for her research on ultracold gases.[ 5] In 2010 the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities gave her their physics prize.[ 6]
In 2020 she was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), after a nomination from the APS Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, "for studies of low dimensional correlated systems, in particular out of equilibrium, using a combination of analytic and novel numerical approaches".[ 1] [ 7]
