CV: Iva Hunger Brezinova comes from the former Czechoslovakia, but grew up in Vienna and studied technical physics at TU Wien, where she also obtained her doctorate in 2012 with a dissertation on ‘Dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates and wave chaos, opens an external URL in a new window’ sub auspiciis praesidentis. She also received the Hannspeter Winter Prize from TU Wien for her dissertation. She has been associated with the Institute for Theoretical Physics since her dissertation days. Several extended research stays took Hunger Brezinova to the CCQ at the Flatiron Institute in New York and ETH Zurich, among other places. In 2020, she secured a tenure track position, which she has now successfully completed. In the course of this, she also acquired her venia docendi, opens an external URL in a new window in 2025 for the subject of ‘Theoretical Physics’ with a habilitation on the topic of ‘Driven and non-equilibrium quantum many-body dynamics, opens an external URL in a new window’.

Her scientific home is at the above-mentioned institute, where she heads the Research Group on the Dynamics of Many-body Systems. There, she focuses on methods for the approximate solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and on applications in many-particle quantum systems.
