He leads the Theory and Simulation of Condensed Matter (TSCM) Group. He is the Director of the EPSRC CDT in Cross-Disciplinary Approaches to Non-Equilibrium Systems (CANES) and he co-led the EPSRC Grand Challenge NetworkPlus in Emergence and Physics Far From Equilibrium 2016-19. He brings expertise in the theory and simulation of quantum many-body systems in and out of equilibrium. His recent contributions include new theoretical and computational approaches to the dynamics of quantum spin systems in arbitrary dimensions [De Nicola 2020, Begg 2021 and 22]. He is currently co-supervising a PhD student with Dr Booth on the applications of VQE in materials science.
