Welcome to the Junior Research Group “Complex Systems with Frustration”

We are a new research group in the Condensed Matter Theory section, established thanks to funding of the DFG in the Emmy Noether Programme.

We are working on a number of problems mostly in classical statistical physics and condensed matter theory with a focus on cutting-edge numerical simulation and optimization techniques. Specifically, we are interested in systems whose thermodynamics is dominated by the effects of disorder and frustration, such as specifically spin glasses, random-field systems, random networks, membranes and random-surface models, but also some field-theoretic topics such as discrete approaches to quantum gravity. For details, please take a look at the research section.

If you are interested in our work and, specifically, if you are considering to write a Diploma/Masters or PhD thesis in our group, please don't hesitate to contact us or just come to Martin's office.
