Our work follows a common thread of modelling complex systems consisting of many interacting objects. We use a variety of mathematical and computational techniques, including developing our own numerical software. Our work sits in three broad themes.
- Theme 1: Many-body quantum systems and collective behaviour
- Theme 2: Quantum simulation and ultracold atoms
- Theme 3: Biophysics and the statistical mechanics of life
More information can be found on our Group webpage.
We also have strong links with the quantum technologies group.
Entry requirements
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate degree (or equivalent). If you are not a UK citizen, you may need to prove your knowledge of English.
