A professor in the School of Science at RMIT University, I'm a computational and theoretical physicist, specialising in quantum theory and its application in electronics, computing and condensed-matter physics. In my research I use a range of mathematical and computational approaches for solving problems in electronics, materials science and information processing. I have extensive collaborations with both theoretical and experimental researchers overseas and within Australia. Having worked in several Centres of Excellence, I am experienced in managing large research projects over long time periods.On the education side, I have taught various physics subjects at undergraduate and graduate level, both in Australia and Germany. I am also an experienced and passionate supervisor of research students.In addition to academic work, I provide consulting advice to industry and government on the application and development of quantum technology. I'm particularly interested in the application of quantum physics to build new technologies in engineering and computing.
