If you are in the St Andrews area, our current project on detecting arsenical pigments in Victorian books features in this fantastic exhibition at the Wardlaw Museum!

Yes, please!

Delighted to have received funding from this Accelerator. Our team @uniofstandrews.bsky.social will be delivering impact in the heritage sector: deploying a new tool to detect arsenical pigments in 19th Century books in collections across Scotland.

Non-equilibrium Dynamics of Open Quantum Systems

Here we go! I'm advertising two PhD projects in the School of Physics & Astronomy!

One is all about developing new ways to model open quantum systems: www.ph.ed.ac.uk/phd-projects...

The other is about disorder and many-body localisation: www.ph.ed.ac.uk/phd-projects...
