Description
During this talk, I will discuss my experiences as a woman in physics as well as introduce my research. My current research focusses on non-Hermitian topological phenomena using non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, which form a useful approach to describe dissipation. I will mention fascinating recent results in this field relating to the breakdown of the famed bulk-boundary correspondence, exceptional points and symmetries and the effects of non-Hermitian baths on the dynamics of quantum emitters.
