Research Interests

Ultra-cold gases and quantum optics. Current work focuses on:

  • Finite temperature theory of Bose gases based on the stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation
  • Dynamics of the BEC phase transition
  • Vortex dynamics and turbulence in 2D superfluids
  • Quantum phase space methods for treating nonlinear systems
  • Theory of multipartite entanglement in quantum optical systems
