Brian Moritz

Brian is a Staff Scientist at SLAC in the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Sciences (SIMES). Brian uses a variety of numerical techniques, including quantum Monte Carlo and exact diagonalization, to study models for strongly correlated materials. Using efficient, parallel algorithms to perform numerical simulations, results can be compared to data from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and other X-ray spectroscopies (primarily XAS, XES, and RIXS). His recent focus includes understanding the nonequilibrium physics revealed by various types of pump-probe experiments, including those performed at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS).
