Nominator's project description

Professor Haas is a condensed matter theorist who has made significant contributions to our understanding of quantum magnetism and unconventional superconductivity. His research group at the University of Southern California has devised state-of-the-art numerical approaches to uncover the rich phase diagrams of strongly correlated many-body systems. During his stay in Germany he will be working on superconductivity in the quasi-two-dimensional dichalcogenide materials.
