Biography

Luca F Tocchio is a Researcher at the Institute for Condensed Matter Physics and Complex Systems of Politecnico di Torino. He has worked as a Post-doctoral fellow at the University of Frankfurt and at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste, where he also did his PhD. He works on numerical Monte Carlo simulations of models for strongly correlated electron systems, aiming to study topics like high-temperature superconductivity, spin-liquid phases, interplay between charge and magnetic degrees of freedom. He is also interested in methodological improvements of variational wave functions to better describe correlated electron systems.
