Research

Natalia Berloff leads the Quantum Fluids\ Physics-inspired computing group. She is an applied mathematician with a range of research interests which focus on coherence in non-equilibrium quantum systems, superfluidity, quantum fluids, Bose-Einstein condensates, and classical and quantum simulators based on atomic and solid-state condensates.
