Current Research:

Many-body Theory of Positron Interactions with Atoms, Molecules and Clusters: High-precision Calculations and Continuum Processes

My research is focussed on quantum many-body physics, and specifically on describing low-energy antimatter interactions with atoms, molecules and real materials, and its implementation via high-performance computing. It is fundamental work but has relevance to materials science, medical imaging (positron emission tomography) and astrophysics.

Research Interests:

• Antimatter
• Atomic and Molecular Physics
• Diagrammatic Many-body Theory
• Quantum Theory of Many-body Systems
• High-performance Scientific Computing
