Research Interests

As a research fellow in applied mathematics at Saarland University, I focus on developing innovative numerical methods to address important open problems in theoretical quantum physics, with a particular emphasis on long-range interacting systems.

My recent work has led to the development of the Singular Euler–Maclaurin Expansion (SEM), an impactful generalization of the 300-year-old Euler–Maclaurin summation formula to high-dimensional lattices and physically relevant long-range interactions (Nonlinearity 35, 3706 (2022), J. Sci. Comput. 90, 53 (2022)). This work, which synthesizes techniques from analysis, partial differential equations, and distribution theory, has enabled the prediction of novel exotic phases in unconventional superconductors with long-range electron-electron interactions (Phys. Rev. Research 5, 043065 (2023)). I have recently solved the long-standing challenge of computing lattice sums with boundaries (Math. Comp. (Oct. 2024)), which has immediate applications in the study of topological systems with long-range interactions.

I also lead the development team for EpsteinLib, a high-performance C library designed to compute the Epstein zeta function (arXiv:2412.16317), a multidimensional generalization of the Riemann zeta function. This library has broad applications in theoretical chemistry and allows for the precise prediction of properties of long-range interacting solids.
