Extreme Physics Around Black Holes: Exploring Accretion Disk Dynamics at the Edge of the Event Horizon
Black holes in our Galaxy, with masses between 5 and 15 times that of our Sun, form when massive stars explode in supernovae. These dense objects are so compact that not even light can escape their immense gravitational pull. Read more
Nonlocal correlation effects in magnets and high-temperature superconductors
Strongly correlated electron systems feature a wide range of fascinating phenomena such as correlation-driven Mott metal-to-insulator transitions, different types of magnetic orders ranging from ferro- to antiferro-magnetism, high-temperature superconductivity, nematic order and many more.
