New position
I am happy to announce that I started my junior research group in theoretical physics at the University Duisburg-Essen support by the NRW Return Fellowship.
I finally found some time to add a number of my most recent publications, talks and posters. I am especially happy, proud and humbled to announce that my PhD thesis was awarded with the ETH medal for outstanding PhD theses. For work carried out at UC Berkeley during my postdoc I was recently awarded the ACS Comp Section / Wiley Computers in Chemistry Outstanding Postdoc Award. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 situation, the ACS National Meeting in Philadelphia was cancelled and I was not able to receive that award in person.
This year I will publish some more of my postdoctoral work on electrocatalysis as well as some very exciting work done in collaboration with experimental groups from Bochum and Göttingen. Furthermore, we are close to finishing some work I did with very talented PhD students here in Berkeley and most likely some machine-learning applications. Stay tuned!

Some long overdue updates
I finally found some time to add the most recent publications, talks, posters and even some awards!
2019
Optimization of highly excited matrix product states
We present an implementation of shift-and-invert techniques and folded operators to target high-lying excited states expressed as matrix product states.
2018
autoCAS Version 1.0 released
We released the autoCAS program for the automated selection of active orbital spaces for multi-configurational calculations.
Paper on iodine catalyzed Hofmann-Loeffler reaction accepted for publication in ACS Catalysis
Our paper on an iodine catalyzed intramolecular C-H amination of alkyl groups via amidyl radicals is accepted for publication with ACS Catalysis.
