Primary research themes:
Postdocs interested in working on any of these topics: please contact
me by email.
Most of my papers are available as preprints on arxiv.org.
Most are on `cond-mat', except for a couple of exceptions, e.g., a q-bio and a cs.LG preprint.
Spring: Electricity & Magnetism and Special Relativity
Autumn: Intro to Quantum Mechanics and Computational Physics II
Research group in Maynooth:
My former research team (2012 -- 2015) in Dresden worked on non-equilibrium phenomena in quantum systems. Members at various times:
Some research topics
Brief descriptions of selected research topics. Written around 2012/2013. Current spectrum of interests is similar, but the focus is more heavily on non-equilibrium physics. |

Employment trajectory
I am currently a faculty member at Maynooth University, in Ireland, in the greater Dublin area. When I joined, our Department was called the Department of Mathematical Physics, for reasons unknown to me. Since then it has been renamed and is now called the Department of Theoretical Physics.
From late 2006 to early 2016, I was a research scientist at the Max-Planck Institute for the Physics
of Complex Systems
(MPI-PKS) in Dresden, Germany.
I was associated with
the Condensed
Matter Department within MPI-PKS.
For part of my time in Dresden, I held a ``Distinguished PKS postdoctoral fellow'' position;
one of
three such positions at the MPI-PKS.
Later, as a longer-term Staff Scientist I directed a group of researchers (of
varying sizes at various times), mostly focusing on the physics of
quantum systems out of equilibrium.
My first postdoctoral appointment (Nov 2003 -- Sep 2006) was in Utrecht university, the Netherlands, working with Henk Stoof's group, at the Institute for Theoretical Physics,
I did my Ph.D. at the Physics Department in Rutgers University, New Jersey. I was at Rutgers from Fall 1997 till September 2003. I worked with the Rutgers quantum condensed matter group and my PhD advisor was Andrei E Ruckenstein.
