Hi there, I'm Alex Hampel - aka the-hampel
I am a data scientist at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics at the Flatiron Institute in New York. I am working on the TRIQS software library triqs.github.io, which is a powerful toolbox for the research in quantum systems. Moreover, I am investigating the behavior of complex transition-metal oxides using state of the art ab-initio simulation techniques. I obtained my Ph.D. in materials science from the ETH Zurich in 2019, where I investigated quantum materials exhibiting strong electron correlation effects, by using a combination of DFT and DMFT ab-initio simulation techniques.
