Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilipp Schicho is an SNSF Ambizione Fellow and theoretical physicist with nine years of experience probing quantum fields under extreme conditions, from dense QCD to early-universe cosmology. He leads PRECLISA, a Swiss National Science Foundation project on precision predictions for gravitational waves from cosmological phase transitions in the LISA era. His work combines thermal multi-loop calculations, automated finite-temperature techniques, and applications to gravitational wave cosmology and compact-star physics, producing publications in JHEP, JCAP and PRD. Philipp has held postdoctoral positions across Europe (Geneva, Goethe, Helsinki) and brings hands-on computational expertise developed since his PhD in thermal field theory. Less obvious: he pairs deep theoretical insight with practical accelerator and beam-loss modelling experience from CERN, giving him a rare cross-disciplinary perspective on high-energy phenomena.
