Welcome to my homepage,

I am Rico, and I have recently started my new position as Junior Associate Professor at Shizuoka University. My new webpage can be found here, and it will be updated soon.

My research is centered around theoretical condensed matter physics. By using computational methods, including classical, semiclassical, and quantum approaches I explore complex many-body phenomena of exotic magnetic phases such as superconductors, spin liquids, spin nematics, and skyrmions.

In the past, I worked in the groups of Yusuke Nomura at the Tohoku University, Yukitoshi Motome at the University of Tokyo, and Masatoshi Imada at Waseda University. I received my Ph.D. from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology in the group of Nic Shannon, and obtained my diploma from the Dresden University of Technology.

Further details can be found on researchMap, with a full list of publications and preprints on this page or on google scholar.
