My research is about topology in condensed matter systems, quantum technology, and machine learning. I am particulary interested in the application of topology and differential geometry for analyzing spin chains, anyons, and Majorana fermions in the realm of topological quantum computing. I also work on the Kondo effect with special focus on the Kondo cloud as well as the influence of magnetic and superconducting materials on the edge states of topological insulators and hybrid systems consisting of trivial and a topological states of matter.
