Research

I currently work on properties of frustrated magnets, generally focusing on classical descriptions appropriate to the large S limit of quantum magnetism. For an introduction to frustrated magnetism, read the article 'Magnets with strong geometric frustration'.

My final year undergraduate project was on the mean field phase diagram of two-component Fermi gases with population and mass imbalance in two dimensions.
