Mathias Scheurer

Mathias Scheurer is an Assistant Professor at the University of Innsbruck at the Institute for Theoretical Physics. He is interested in the theoretical description of the emergent collective phenomena that arise in interacting many-body systems as a result of competing interactions, topology, and disorder.

More specifically, he works on unconventional and topological superconductivity, complex phase diagrams, the impact of impurities in crystals, spin-orbit coupling, magnetism, spin liquids and topological order, moiré superlattice systems, and non-Hermitian many-body physics. To address these problems, he employs a combination of analytical and numerical techniques of quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. Furthermore, he explores the potential of machine-learning to tackle problems of many-body physics.
