Biography

Michael Thoss is a professor in Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Freiburg. His research encompasses a wide range of topics within theoretical condensed matter materials physics, chemical physics, and nanophysics. His focus lies on the theory and simulation of nonequilibrium processes in many-body quantum systems, nanostructures, surfaces, interfaces, and molecular systems. Over the years, he has developed and applied theoretical computational methods to understand fundamental aspects of the dynamics and transport in complex quantum systems. His applications extend to the simulation of charge and energy transport as well as light-induced processes in the context of nanoscience and energy conversion. He actively collaborates with experimental groups from physics, chemistry, and materials science, aiming to bridge theoretical insights with experimental outcomes.
