I study the interplay between electron-phonon coupling and electronic interactions in correlated electron systems. Using functional Renormalization Group (fRG) techniques, I investigate the competition between superconductivity, magnetism, and charge order in both universal toy models and material-specific Hamiltonians derived from first principles. My work focuses on how these different interaction channels mutually influence one another to drive the formation of collective electronic phases.
