Andreas Deuchert
I am an Assistant Professor of Mathematical Physics at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia. Previously I was an independent research fellow and lecturer at the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Zurich financed by an Ambizione Grant of the Swiss National Science Foundation. My main research interests are mathematical quantum mechanics and quantum statistical mechanics. In my work I develop analytic, functional analytic, and probabilistic methods with a strong focus on variational techniques to study mathematical problems originating from solid state physics. Currently, I am mostly interested in developing new mathematical tools to study Bose gases at positive temperature. Another important theme of my work are mathematical aspects of the BCS theory of superconductivity (formulated as a non-commutative variational problem). I have also been interested in the physics of the angulon quasi-particle. For more information see my CV

Upcoming events
- Together with Guher Camliyurt I am organizing a session on nonlinear PDEs and their microscopic derivation at the Southeastern Sectional Meeting of the AMS at Clemson University on March 8th--9th in 2025.
- I will participate as a Senior Fellow in the Spring Program Non-commutaive Optimal Transport to be held at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) for the period March 10th -- June 13 in 2025.
Master and PhD thesis
If you are interested in writing a Master's or PhD thesis in quantum statistical mechanics (from a mathematical point of view), I would be happy to hear from you.

In March 2024 I gave a lecture series (4 × 75 min) on mathematical aspects of the BCS theory of superconductivity at the Winter School of the SFB TRR 352 Mathematics of Many-Body Quantum Systems and Their Collective Phenomena that took place in Kochl am See. The lecture notes can be found here: part1
