Quantum Physics
Lenz-Ising Award for Dr. Simeon Mistakidis
18 September 2019
Dr. Simeon Mistakidis has been firstly awarded the Lenz-Ising Prize for outstanding junior scientists by the Department of Physics at the University of Hamburg. This Prize aims at aiding financially researchers at the early stages of their scientific career. He accomplished his PhD thesis at the center for optical quantum technologies of the University of Hamburg addressing the correlated nonequilibrium quantum dynamics of few and many-body ultracold atomic systems and mixtures thereof. His postdoctoral research activities will focus on the microscopic mechanisms that lead to polaron formation unveiling their dynamical dressing, correlation induced interactions, orthogonality catastrophe events and entanglement based processes. Aspects on the aforementioned topic have been recently published in Physical Review Letters (Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 183001 (2019)).
