Pair-Correlation Effects in Many-Body Systems: Towards a Complete Theoretical Description of Pair-Correlations in the Static and Kinetic Description o

Kristian Blom obtained his Bachelor's degree in nanobiology at the Technical University of Delft (NL). Thereafter, he obtained his Master's degree in mathematical and theoretical physics at the University of Oxford (UK), where he developed an interest in statistical physics.

For his Ph.D., he went to the Mathematical bioPhysics group at the Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences in Göttingen (DE), where he focused on the role and treatment of pair correlations in many-body systems, under the supervision of Dr. Aljaz Godec. During his Ph.D., he developed an approximation technique to obtain a Cahn-Hilliard free energy including pair correlations and studied how pair correlations affect magnetization reversal times in the Ising model.

Currently (January 2023), he is working as Postdoctoral Researcher in the same group, where he is investigating the role of pair correlations in non-equilibrium dynamics of many-body systems.
