Electronic structure and optical properties
David Linteau
EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland
David is pursuing a PhD at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), working jointly with Prof. Giuseppe Carleo (EPFL) and Prof. Markus Holzmann (CNRS Grenoble). His research focuses on the development of Monte Carlo algorithms, based on a neural network representation of the wave function, to study strongly interacting many-body quantum systems. He recently studied exotic phases in condensed matter helium systems, as well as high-pressure hydrogen.
Benedikt Maurer Moritz
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Benedikt is pursuing his PhD under the supervision of Prof. Claudia Draxl at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, where he develops next-generation algorithms for solving the Bethe–Salpeter equation. His work aims to enable accurate, fully converged BSE calculations for realistic materials at drastically reduced computational cost. He is an active developer of the exciting code and is responsible for its BSE module.
Simone Grillo
Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Hamburg, Germany
Simone Grillo is a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Hamburg, working in Prof. Angel Rubio’s group. He obtained his PhD in Physics at the University of Rome “Tor Vergata” in 2025. His research interests lie in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics, with emphasis on the optical properties of low-dimensional materials.
Valeriia Kosheleva
Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Hamburg, Germany
Valeriia P. Kosheleva is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter in Hamburg. She earned her Ph.D. in Quantum Physics from the Helmholtz Institute Jena, where she studied QED corrections to hyperfine splitting and g-factor in few-electron ions. Her research develops relativistic and time-dependent theoretical frameworks to describe light–matter interactions, with applications to spectroscopies in the strong light-matter coupling regime. She is particularly interested in interactions with exotic forms of light, including light carrying orbital angular momentum and quantum light. Her work contributes theoretical insight to advanced spectroscopic techniques and next-generation quantum materials.
Strong Correlations
Laura Torchia
SISSA, Trieste, Italy
Laura is a PhD student in Condensed Matter Physics at SISSA, where she works under the supervision of Prof. Massimo Capone. Her research focuses on strongly correlated multi-orbital systems, investigating competing phases with DMFT and beyond-DMFT methods that capture non-local correlations.

New phases in condensed matter
Yuriko Baba
Instituto de Estructura de la Materia, Madrid, Spain
Yuriko is a researcher at the Instituto de Estructura de la Materia (IEM-CSIC) in Madrid. She earned her Ph.D. from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid under the supervision of F. Domínguez Adame Acosta and R. A. Molina Fernández (IEM-CSIC). She was a postdoctoral researcher at Ifimac (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) in the group of Alfredo Levy Yeyati and Pablo Burset. Her research focuses primarily on electronic transport in mesoscopic systems, particularly in topological insulators, topological semimetals, graphene, and superconductors.

Transport and vibrational properties
Marti Raya Moreno
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Martí Raya Moreno is a postdoctoral researcher at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. He obtained his PhD in 2022 from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, where he studied thermal transport in novel materials and nanodevices from an ab initio perspective. He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona, focusing on simulations of thermal dynamics in detectors for dark-matter experiments. He later joined Prof. Dr. Claudia Draxl’s group at the HU Berlin, where he contributes to new developments and the optimization of the GW implementation in the full-potential all-electron density-functional-theory package exciting, with a focus on high-performance computing.
