The PSI Center for Scientific Computing, Theory and Data links new opportunities of computational materials modelling and data science with PSI’s unique large research facilities.
Scientific Highlights & News
Congratulations to Đorđe Petrovic, PostDoc from ANS group
Đorđe Petrovic, PostDoc from ANS group of LSM was selected as recipient of the FR26 Young Generation Paper Recognition.
When Quantum Magnets Lose Their Sense of Scale
Scale invariance asks whether the same patterns can govern nature across very different lengths, from microscopic matter to large natural structures. Magnets offer one of the cleanest examples: near a critical point, where order disappears, details of the material fade and universal laws take over.
Congratulations to Israa for winning the Poster Competition award for her poster “Efficient QR based Column Subset Selection through Randomized Sparse Embedding”
Doctoral student Israa Fakih, supervised by Prof. Laura Grigori, won the 1st place in Poster Competition award for her poster “Efficient QR based Column Subset Selection through Randomized Sparse Embedding”, at the SWICCOMAS Annual Event 2026, held at the University of Bern, Switzerland.
