Christopher A. Schroeder

My research interests include group theory, representation theory and quantum physics. Starting in Fall 2026, I will be a postdoctoral fellow in the algebra department at the Rényi Institute of Mathematics in Budapest. I completed a PhD in the math department at Binghamton University with Hung Tong-Viet in Spring 2026. Previously, I completed a PhD in physics at the University of Maryland under Luis Orozco. During my PhD studies, I was a guest at Martin Plenio's Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ulm, Germany, where I studied quantum effects in photosynthesis. Before that, I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a BS in mathematics, a BS in physics and a BA in German. I am a committed educator with an interest in translation. For more information about me, please see my research statement and CV.
