In some of my recent projects, e.g. the PE-ADC paper, I got a little more into method development surrounding the algebraic-diagrammatic construction scheme (ADC). Even though quite a few people from the Dreuw group in Heidelberg are involved with ADC development and we have regular talks on ADC, I …

The design of molsturm
Yesterday I was invited to the give a talk at the group seminar of Prof. Thomas Kühne at the University of Paderborn. I was really happy about this invitation, since this gave me a great opportunity to talk about the recent direction my PhD has taken.
Motivated from the problems …
