Carmichael photo         I am from a town in Hertfordshire, England called London Colney and I studied for a Masters in physics (Mphys) at the University of Sussex in Brighton, UK with a year at Albert-Ludwig’s Universität in Freiberg, Germany where I worked with Reinhold Blümel on a study of chaotic motion of ions confined in traps with cylindrical and spherical symmetry, leading to my first publication in Physical Review E. I then came to the US to do a PhD at the University of Connecticut where my thesis work with Juha Javanainen involved the fields of quantum optics, ultra-cold physics, many-body physics and AMO (atomic, molecular and optical physics).  My thesis title was “A Heisenberg picture mean-field model for magneto-association of a quantum degenerate Bose gas close to a Feshbach resonance”. The salient result was our prediction of a single unstable stationary Eigenstate of the system, with the all-molecule condensate emerging in a non-analytic fashion. I have been on the faculty at SUNY Cortland since fall 2008.
