Ulrich Schollwöck is Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich. He has a MSc from Balliol College, University of Oxford in 1991, a Diploma in Physics from the University of Munich in 1993, and a PhD from the French Atomic Energy Commission in 1995. His key interest are strongly correlated quantum systems with a focus on the development of new algorithms for large-scale simulations. He is a leading expert for the density-matrix renormalization group and was a pioneer in applying it to quantum systems far from equilibrium. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (2006) and Academy of Science member in Germany (2007). He has received the Gerhard Hess prize of the German Research Foundation (2000) and has been Fellow of the Institute of Advanced Study in Berlin (2009/2010). He is vice-president of the German Association of University Professors and Lecturers, scientific advisory board member of the Krupp foundation and of the Alexander von Humboldt foundation, and trustee of the German Museum of Science and Technology.
