Biography

Andreas Schmitt is a professor in the Mathematical Sciences at the University of Southampton. His research primarily revolves around Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and the study of matter governed by the strong force. He focuses on the phase structure at nonzero temperatures and baryon densities, integrating aspects of particle physics, condensed matter physics, and astrophysical contexts such as neutron stars. Schmitt employs quantum field theoretic methods to develop effective theories and phenomenological models, often drawing on elements of string theory and gauge/string duality. His notable research interests include superconductivity, superfluidity, and dense nuclear quark matter. Over the years, he has been involved in various projects, including those sponsored by the Leverhulme Trust, exploring dense nuclear quark matter and its implications for neutron stars. Andreas has participated as a speaker at several virtual meetings addressing topics like topological phases of matter and the QCD phase diagram for neutron stars.
