I am a second year PhD student at ETH Zürich in the Seminar of Applied Math under the supervision of Prof. Habib Ammari. My research focuses on the behavior of waves in complex media. Currently, I also serve as co-president of VMM, the association of the academic mid-level faculty at D-MATH as well as vice group organiser of the Seminar of Applied Mathemathics.

Edge-Bulk Competition in Non-Reciprocal Disorder
Habib Ammari, Silvio Barandun, Clemens Thalhammer, Alexander Uhlmann
Multiscale Modeling & Simulation (2026)
We investigate the interplay between edge and bulk localisation phenomena in non-reciprocal disordered systems, revealing competing mechanisms that determine the nature of wave propagation in these complex media.

Real-Space Formulation of the Zak Phase via Weyl m-Functions
Habib Ammari, Clemens Thalhammer
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical (2026)
We develop a real-space approach to computing the Zak phase using Weyl m-functions, providing new insights into the topological characterization of one-dimensional periodic systems.
