Theory of condensed matter, critical phenomena and computational physics.
My research covers a wide range of topics in theoretical condensed matter
physics including spontaneous symmetry breaking
and critical phenomena, renormalization group theory, and computational
methods in quantum physics. In addition, I work
closely with the experimental condensed matter group on ferroelectric
materials and high-TC superconductivity.
I am also part of a large international collaboration searching for axions coming from the core of the sun.
Most recently, my research has focused on microcanonical methods in statistical physics. I have developed the
"microcanonical transfer matrix" which counts exactly the number of states with a given energy. With this new data we
have been able to pursue the Yang-Lee theory of phase transitions for the Q-state Potts model. I have applied some of
these same ideas to evaluating the Feynman path integral and am currently working on the quantum XY model.
