Research Interests
* Correlated Electrons * Topological Order * Quantum Information * Network Dynamics * Fractal Growth * Granular Matter * Vortex Dynamics
I am interested in novel applications of statistical mechanics to systems out of equilibrium, glassy systems, and quantum systems. For a more detailed list of some specific topics, see Research and Publications.
Education and Employment
Technical Staff Member, Complex Systems Group, 2000-present (2000-03 as Feynman Fellow)
R.H. Dicke Postdoctoral Fellow, Princeton University, 1997-2000
Ph.D. in Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997

Postdoctoral Opportunities
Currently, I am seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position at LANL studying entanglement in many-body quantum systems and studying the application of matrix product states to approximating ground states in these systems. One particular application is to systems with topological order. If interested, please e-mail me a CV with "MPS POSTDOC" in the subject line.
