Being eager to research on electronic structure theory, I am particularly interested in light-matter interactions and material properties originating from electronic correlations. During my PhD studies, I pursued my research interests by studying light-matter interactions and material properties in the context of multinary quantum-well laser systems in Prof. Stephan Koch's theoretical semiconductor physics research group. At this stage of my research, I combined DFT with the group's fully quantized theory for light-matter interactions. During my first postdoc, I researched on strongly correlated systems, specifically on multiferroic systems, and gained proficiency in configuration interaction calculations at the ILL Theory Group and the CNRS Théorie de la Matière Condensée group under supervision of Dr. Marie-Bernadette Lepetit. After this, I returned to the field of light-matter interactions, this time in the non-linear regime, researching on the description of X-ray optical wavemixing (XOWM) processes, in the FS-TUXS group of Prof. Nina Rohringer. Currently, I am aiming to improve the description XOWM processes from the ab initio point of view and am aiming to extend the corresponding theory to correlated systems.
