Brian Dolan

I currently teach the following modules:

4th Year Honours (MP464): Solid State Physics
4th Year Honours (MP465): Electromagnetism
4th Year Honours (MP466): Particle Physics
4th Year Honours (MP467): Astrophysics and Cosmology
4th Year Honours (MP469): Mathematical Methods (II)

Research students: Sean Murray, Thomas Kaltenbrunner, Martin Vachovski

My research area is field theory: relativistic quantum field theory in elementary particle physics; classical field theory in general relativity; non-relativistic quantum field theory in the quantum Hall effect. I am also interested in extensions of field theory applications to new physics, such as non-commutative geometry and quantum gravity.
