Michael Schmidt - Theoretical Particle Physics

Supervisor(s): 

Michael Schmidt

I am a theoretical particle physicist working on physics beyond the Standard Model and astroparticle physics including neutrino physics, dark matter and (lepton) flavour physics. I am offering projects on any of these topics.

Julian Berengut's Research Projects

Supervisor(s): 

Julian Berengut
Our group maintains a diverse theoretical physics program aimed at testing the Standard Model, searching for new particles, and applying many-body atomic physics calculations to new experiments and new technologies. We have a strong support network, including P

Theoretical cosmology and astroparticle physics

Supervisor(s): 

Yvonne Wong

I am a theoretical physicist working at the interface of particle physics and cosmology.  I offer projects on topics from < 10^-32 seconds to 13.8 billion years after the big bang.  Keywords include: neutrinos, axions, dark matter, dark energy, cosmic microwave background, large-scale structur

Victor Flambaum's Research Projects

Supervisor(s): 

Victor Flambaum

Current research interests of our group are in the following areas:

1. Search for non-gravitational effects of Dark matter and Dark energy in atomic and astrophysical phenomena.

Cosmology

Supervisor(s): 

Jan Hamann

I am offering projects in theoretical cosmology.  Possible topics include cosmic inflation, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, the cosmic microwave background or the formation of the Universe’s large scale structure.

Dimi Culcer's Research Projects

Supervisor(s): 

Dimitrie Culcer

My research is fully integrated into the ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (http://www.fleet.org.au) and is focused on two areas.

1. Quantum transport in topological materials

Fabry Perot interferometer with Quantum Point Contact

Supervisor(s): 

Oleg Sushkov

.Quantum point contact (QPC) is a one dimensional constriction in a two dimensional electron gas. Conductance of a QPC has been known to be quantized in units of G0 = 2e^2/h since 1988 [1,2].
