Qualifications

  • Bachelor (Honours) of Science (Advanced), Australian National University
  • Doctor of Philosophy, Princeton University

Research interests

  • Strongly Correlated Electron Models for Organic Superconductors

    Given a model Hamiltonian, which includes the interactions between the electrons, the challenge is to calculate the properties of its ground state and excited states and compare to the rich phase diagrams observed experimentally.

  • Theoretical chemical physics

    Diabatic state models for organic chromophores such as fluorescent proteins and for hydrogen bonding.
