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.

CSD annual Scientific Retreat 2026
Our annual scientific retreat once again proved to be a great success also this year.
Sunshine, BBQ & Good Company
The LSM team enjoyed and cozy BBQ at our OASE Restaurant. It was a great opportunity to spend quality time together in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Day of skiing in Arosa Lenzerheide
