Researcher biography
Professor Matthew Davis is a theoretical and computational physicist. His main research area is non-equilibrium quantum many-body systems, and he particularly focuses on the platform of ultracold quantum gases. He particularly enjoys connecting theory with experiment, and has published several high impact papers with several international experimental groups.
His specific research areas include:
- Non-equilibrium dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates and other quantum gases;
- Superfluidity, vortices, and quantum turbulence;
- Dynamics of phase transitions and formation of topological defects;
- Relaxation of isolated quantum systems and quantum thermodynamics;
- Computational methods for quantum systems.
He did his undergraduate studies in physics at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand, before completing his PhD at the University of Oxford in 2001 under the supervision of Sir Professor Keith Burnett. He started at the University of Queensland in 2002, became a teaching and research academic in 2004, and was promoted to Professor in 2013. He was recently a Chief Investigator in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (2018-25), and the ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (2017-24).
