Dr. Francesca Paoletti

Francesca received her Ph.D. from SISSA in Trieste (Italy), where she worked on the theoretical description of topological phase transitions in the presence of strong electronic correlations within a framework inspired by Landau–Ginzburg theory.

Shortly after completing her doctorate, she moved to JMU in Würzburg, joining the CQM group led by Prof. Sangiovanni as a postdoctoral researcher. Currently, Francesca investigates the role of electronic correlations in paradigmatic toy models relevant to real materials, primarily using DMFT and the auxiliary-rotor method. An important direction of her research concerns the physical interpretation of Green’s function zeros.

Since September 2025, she has been a member of the Steering Committee of the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat, as QMA representative.
