Relocations to Europe.

10/6/2022

Relocations to Europe.
Our former PhD student Casey Cartwright successfully defended his thesis and moved to Europe this Fall. Casey received several offers for postdoc positions and decided to join Utrecht University. This makes Casey our second PhD student moving directly on to a postdoc position after Dr. Markus Garbiso Amano who graduated in 2021.
Meanwhile, Europe also serves as a temporary harbor for Matthias Kaminski who is spending his sabbatical at Wuerzburg University, Germany.

Exploring new research directions

8/26/2021

Amano-Garbiso | Cartwright | Kaminski
In a recent preprint PhD student Casey Cartwright and Dr. Kaminski explore a direction new for the group with a surprising result: inverted c-functions in thermal states calculated from entanglement entropy [arXiv:2107.12409]. Also new for Dr. Kaminski is the construction of hydrodynamics including spin angular momentum [arXiv:2107.14231] with Hongo Huang Stephanov and Yee. Although this is related to earlier research with his former PhD student now postdoc Markus Amano Garbiso [view publication in JHEP].

Another of our papers accepted by JHEP

9/23/2019

Garbiso | Kaminski

Another paper was accepted by JHEP within this month. After the paper with PhD student Casey Cartwright, also PhD student Markus Garbiso's work with Dr. Kaminski has been accepted for publication by JHEP (impact factor from 2018 is 5.833).

The paper with Casey is by now published and can be found here: Correlations far from equilibrium in charged strongly coupled fluids subjected to a strong magnetic field

PhD student Casey Cartwright and group leader Dr. Kaminski get peer-reviewed article published

8/28/2019

Cartwright | Kaminski

Casey Cartwright, PhD student in our group, has gotten his his first paper accepted with his research advisor, Dr. Kaminski. In fact, this was not Casey's first article. He had written two articles while obtaining his master's degree at the Colorado School of Mines. The recently accepted article will appear in the peer-reviewed Journal of High Energy Physics, JHEP (impact factor from 2018: 5.833). The preprint can be found here. The published version will be out soon, so stay tuned ... .

Published by JHEP: Our universal magnetoresponse paper in collaboration with lattice gauge theorists

11/7/2018

Kaminski | Wu

Our group members Dr. Kaminski and Dr. Wu have recently published a paper in collaboration with lattice gauge theorists Dr. Gergely Endrodi (Frankfurt) and Prof. Dr. Andreas Schafer (Regensburg), as well as Laurence Yaffe (Seattle). In that work, a universal conformal scaling is discovered in lattice data derived from QCD. More details in the publication.

PhD students presenting at KSM2017 in Frankfurt

11/17/2017

Garbiso | Kaminski | Koirala

Our PhD students Garbiso, Koirala and alongside co-organizer Dr. Kaminski traveled to Frankfurt, Germany to attend the 3rd Karl Schwarzschild Meeting 2017 on Gravity and the Gauge/Gravity Correspondence from July 24-28, 2017. Both, Garbiso and Koirala presented their latest research results. Video recordings of their presentations can be found here.

Participants and Lecturers

Participants and Lecturers at the Pre-Conference Summer School at ICIMAF, Havana, Cuba

Kaminski

A trip to Cuba for a summer school and two back-to-back international research conferences has been concluded - with great success as it turns out. Matthias Kaminski traveled to Havana, Cuba on May 2nd and lectured at a summer school at the Institute for Cybernetics, Physics and Mathematics (ICIMAF) in Havana about holography. He also presented our research on chiral magnetic transport and charged magnetic black branes at the first of two conferences, STARS2017 and SMFNS2017 (May 7-13). Lectures and the talk were very well received and lead to fruitful conversations with local and international physicists during and after the presentations. Students and faculty in Cuba were very welcoming and common research interests lead to many interesting discussions - some of which are ongoing.

Mini-workshop with numerical holography expert Wilke van der Schee (MIT)

4/16/2017

Dr. Wilke van der Schee

Holography Group

During April 17-19, 2017 we have Wilke van der Schee visiting us from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Boston, MA. Wilke is going to lead a set of tutorial sessions during which we are going to discuss and work out numerical methods for holographic thermalization problems. More details about this research area can be found on Wilke's website. Wilke will conclude his visit by giving a colloquium talk at our Department for Physics and Astronomy.
