Biography

After two years at the United World College of the American West – an international school located in New Mexico, US – I did an undergraduate degree in Physics with a specialisation in Theoretical Physics at St. Catherine’s College, Oxford, followed by a DPhil at the Department of Materials. This led to six more years at Oxford, first as a Junior Research Fellow at St. John’s College and then as an EPSRC Advanced Fellow at the Materials Department. In 1999 I moved to Queen’s University Belfast to take up a Readership in Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. I have remained at the School of Mathematics and Physics at Queen’s ever since.

Research Interests
My broad area is Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, with a closer interest in electronic transport and real-time quantum electron-nuclear dynamics. A more recent interest is light-matter interaction and coupled electron-phonon-photon dynamics in atomic, molecular and extended systems.
