About us

We are a theory group at the University of Victoria.  We use atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) systems as versatile platforms to explore a wide range of fundamental quantum phenomena. Our research focuses on understanding complex behaviours such as quantum chaos, dynamical and equilibrium phase transitions, and the emergence of complexity.  We also use AMO systems as quantum simulators.  By exploiting the interactions between lasers and ultracold neutral atoms, we recreate conditions that mimic the behavior of electrons in solids.  This approach offers new insights into condensed matter physics, with our interest being in topological phase transitions.

About me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Physics & Astronomy Department at the University of Victoria in British Columbia, where I grew up.  I received my PhD at McMaster University in 2017 under the supervision of Duncan O'Dell and did two Postdocs at Jagiellonian University and the University of Oklahoma, as well as a short stint in industry.
