Anne van Grinsven, PhD student
The department has employed Anne van Grinsven as a PhD student from 1 September 2025. She will be affiliated with the Section for Analysis & Quantum and the Centre for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory (QMATH).
Anne completed her bachelor’s degree in mathematics at the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands), alongside a bachelor’s in physics and astronomy, offered by the University of Amsterdam and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She then moved to Munich (Germany) for her master’s in theoretical and mathematical physics, offered as a joint program by the Ludwig-Maximilians University and the Technical University of Munich.
For her master’s thesis, supervised by Prof. Arnaud Triay, she worked on a rigorous derivation of the mean-field approximation for the ground state of a quasi-two-dimensional Bose gas. Here, a collection of Bosons is put in a trap, which is highly confining in one of the spatial directions.
“During my PhD, I will work on the mathematics of Bose gases in the dilute limit, supervised by Prof. Søren Fournais and Prof. Jan-Philip Solovej as co-supervisor. Specifically, I will look at the Bose-Hubbard model, where the Bosons are confined to a lattice and the quasi-one-dimensional Bose gas, where the Bosons are put in a trap, which is highly confining in two of the spatial directions,” says Anne.
You can find Anne at the QMATH Centre in Vibenshuset.
