Creswick, Richard John
Professor
My research covers a wide range of topics in theoretical condensed matter physics including spontaneous symmetry breaking and critical phenomena, renormalization group theory, and computational methods in quantum physics. In addition, I work closely with the experimental condensed matter group on ferroelectric materials and high-TC superconductivity. I am also part of a large international collaboration searching for axions coming from the core of the sun.
