The list below includes some recent side-projects I worked on in my free time.
- 
             Field-Dependent THz Transport Nonlinearities in Semiconductor Nano StructuresQuentin Wach,Michael T. Quick,Sabrine Ayari,Alexander W. Achtstein The charge transport in semiconductor quantum dots and nanorods is studied theoretically, predicting strong field-dependent nonlinear mobility effects and intra-pulse gain. We studied the temperature- and size-sensitive mobility spectra, crucial for applications like 6G tech and nano electronics in general. PCCP

             THz Response of Charge Carriers in NanoparticlesMichael T. Quick,Quentin Wach,Nina Owschimikow,Alexander W. Achtstein Presenting a new quantum mechanical theory that models the THz mobility of charge carriers in low-dimensional semiconductors, revealing nonlinearities even at low field-strengths as well as a quantum mechanical equilibration current that counteracts the mobility at low frequencies.

             Image Ranker: The Web App for Fast Ranking of Large Image CollectionsTraining generative image models requires a way to compare images and provide feedback on which images are better. I built a web app to do just that using the TrueSkill algorithm for accurate and fast Bayesian ranking and various other features. star 72

             BEAMZ: Fast and Easy Electromagnetic Simulation and Inverse Design.This Python package is built to support multiple backends (e.g. for GPU acceleration), features a high-level API that enables fast prototyping and design with just a few lines of code, includes live visualization of your 3D designs and real-time field propagation, while also providing its own FDTD and FDFD eigen-mode solvers. star 17
