Profile and Publications

Dr Olivier Bleu is a postdoctoral researcher with expertise in polaritons. He is currently investigating interactions and correlations in exciton-polariton condensates.

Dr Brendan Mulkerin is a postdoctoral researcher working on impurity problems in cold atoms and semiconductor microcavities.

Dr Weizhe Liu is a postdoctoral researcher working on the dynamics of impurities in quantum gases.

Emma Laird is a PhD student working on strongly interacting Fermi gases, which includes pairing in excitonic systems and novel Feshbach resonances. She is originally from Townsville in Northern Queensland.

Haydn Adlong is a Masters student studying out-of-equilibrium physics and quasiparticles in the problem of an impurity in a Fermi gas.

Sangeet Kumar is a PhD student studying few-body problems in light-matter coupled systems.
