Please come by and talk to me in person about possible projects.

Graduate Students

Please come by and talk to me about working with me on a PhD thesis. It would be useful for you to look over my research description and recent papers to get a sense of my current interests. If you are considering switching from a previously intended subfield to condensed matter theory I would recommend doing this sooner rather than later. Condensed matter physics is a fairly diverse subject and a longer immersion in its lore is worth a great deal.

In 2009-2010 I am advising two students: Chris Laumann (will graduate in 2010) and Sid Parameswaran. My previous students have been  Donald Priour (Assistant Professor, U of Missouri, Kansas City), John Naud (Citadel Group), Shoibal Chakravarty (Postdoctoral fellow Princeton Environmental Institute), Kumar Raman (Postdoctoral fellow at UIUC and now at UCR), Karol Gregor (Postdoctoral fellow at Caltech in Physics and now NYU in Machine Learning)  and Fiona Burnell (Postdoctoral fellow, All Souls College, Oxford).

Post-doctoral Fellows

If you are interested in coming to Princeton please apply through the Departmental website and if you have a special interest in working with me let me know directly email. You can also be nominated for a PCTS fellowship.

Fall 2010: Unfortunately, I do not have funds for a position in my group.

I enjoy working with postdoctoral fellows in our group. During their time at Princeton, I've worked with Kun Yang (faculty at FSU/NHMFL), Denise Freed (Schlumberger-Doll Research), Roderich Moessner (Director, MPI-PKS, Dresden), Oleg Tchernyshyov (faculty, Johns Hopkins), Matthew Hastings (staff, Station Q), Iddo Ussishkin (Intel), Vadim Oganesyan (faculty, CUNY Staten Island), Joseph Bhaseen (currently at Cambridge), PCTS fellows Dr. Antonello Scardicchio (faculty ICTP, Trieste) and Dr. Meera Parish (currently at Cambridge). I am currently collaborating actively with PCTS fellows Dr. Dmitry Abanin and Dr. Bryan Clark.
