Bromley Research

Computational atomic physics

My research interests are based in solving/understanding atomic physics with computers. There are two areas that I specialise in:

Atom Optics and understanding matter-wave propagation and atom-chip applications

Atomic structure including positron-atom, electron-atom, photon-atom and atom-atom interactions

• Our list of publications is organised by year or by subject.
• Student theses can be found here.
• Some possible research projects.
• Check out our Animations of Atomic Physics (AnimAtoms)
• Bromley group photos: at DAMOP 2008, group dinner summer 2007, at DAMOP 2007,
