Monika Aidelsburger

Monika Aidelsburger is a professor at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) and leads a W2 research group at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics. She received her PhD in Physics from LMU in 2015. From 2016 to 2017, she was a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow at Collège de France before establishing her research group at LMU. Her research focuses on quantum simulation using ultracold atoms in optical lattices to investigate topological phases and lattice gauge theories. Aidelsburger has received numerous prestigious awards, including an ERC Starting Grant, the Alfried Krupp Prize and the Klung Wilhelmy Science Award.
