Biography

Katja Klobas obtained her PhD from University of Ljubljana in 2020. After that she was a postdoctoral research assistant at University of Oxford, and then in 2022 she moved to University of Nottingham after being awarded a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship. She joined the University of Birmingham in April 2024 as an Assistant Professor in Theoretical Physics.

Research

Katja’s research has been broadly centred around non-equilibirum dynamics of classical and  quantum many-body systems. The main fundamental questions in this field are concerned with finding an efficient description of emergent large-scale behaviour of quantum (or classical) systems consisting of many interacting particles. Katja’s work is mostly analytical, and combines ideas of statistical mechanics, quantum information, integrability, and mathematical physics.
