Research
I study the theoretical physics of quantum many-particle systems in which interactions are qualitatively important and lead to novel behavior.
Examples of the systems I am interested in include Bose-Einstein condensates and paired fermion superfluidity, that are phenomena from the realm of
ultracold atoms, as well as condensed-matter systems such as graphene (a one-atom thick layer of carbon with interesting electronic properties),
heavy-fermion materials, and high-temperature superconductors. Most of my papers are available, in preprint form, online at
the physics
preprint archive,
Recent seminars
My (contributed) 2008 APS March Meeting talk on graphene.
My 2008 talk on graphene at the Institute for Nuclear Theory in Seattle.
My 2007 talk at Caltech on polarized Fermi gases.
Postdoctoral position
A postdoctoral research position in theoretical condensed matter and atomic physics is available in
my research group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. This position is expected to start
in 2009. The research area concerns the correlated many-body physics of ultracold atomic gases.
Applications, including an e-mail address, a list of references, and a research statement, should
be sent to sheehy@phys.lsu.edu
