Kristjan Haule Curriculum Vitae

Kristjan Haule was born in Slovenia and obtained his undergraduate education in Slovenia (University of Ljubljana, BSC 1997) and he has done his PhD (2002) work in Slovenia and in Karlsruhe University (Germany). He was appointed Assistant Professor of Physics at Rutgers in 2005 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2009 and University Professor in 2012.

He was an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow in 2008-2010, received NSF Career Award in 2008, and The Rutgers Board of Trustees award for Scholarly Excellence in 2009. He is PI on numerous NSF and DOE projects. He received Blavatnik Award for Young Scientists in 2013 for theoretical and computational studies of strongly correlated electron systems.

Haule's research specialties are in condensed matter theory, with major interests in electronic structure theory for correlated electron solids and algorithm development which combine the Dynamical Mean Field Theory and Density Functional Theory. He is especially known for the development of predictive theories for correlated electron solids and implementation of dmft_wien2k code. Haule's publications include over 100 scientific papers, h-index of 35, and over 1,000 citations a year in 2014.
