Faculty members in the condensed matter theory group and their
current interests:
Anton Andreev (PhD 1996, MIT) Electron transport in mesoscopic and disordered systems, Coulomb blockade devices, and in other low-dimensional electron systems; theory of speckles of coherent waves propagating through random media. Marcel den Nijs (PhD 1979, Radboud University, Nijmegen) Equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and low dimensional quantum field theory, with applications to surface science, one dimensional quantum fluids and solids, and to neuroscience. John Rehr (PhD 1972, Cornell) Fundamental condensed matter theory, aiming at a quantitative understanding of electronic structure and many-body theory, using modern high performance computational techniques. Michael Schick (PhD 1967, Stanford) Modulated phases of block copolymers and biological lipids; fusion of small vesicles and organization in lipid bilayers, such as the plasma membrane. Boris Spivak (PhD 1970, Leningrad Polytechnical Institute) Mesoscopic effects in metals; propagation of waves in disordered media; mesoscopic fluctuations in superconductors; mesoscopic phase separation in 2D systems; and classical kinetics. David Thouless (PhD 1958, Cornell, emeritus professor) topological quantum numbers, vortices in superfluids, and the quantum Hall effect. |
