- Chris Hooley
Dr Chris Hooley is a British theoretical physicist. He received a D.Phil. from the
University of Oxford in1999 . He recently moved from theUniversity of Birmingham to theUniversity of St Andrews to take up a lectureship in theoretical condensed matter physics at the university's school ofphysics andastronomy .He recently sponsored the [http://www.physicsbythelake.org/ Physics by the Lake School] . [ [http://www.iop.org/activity/groups/subject/tcm/News/page_8304.html Group News ] ] . Additionally he recently was hosted by Dundee West MP Jim McGovern through the
Royal Society 's annual MP scientist pairing scheme. Hooley is also the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Members Representative of the St Andrews Local Association of University Teachers. [ [http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~aut/index.html AUT@St. Andrews ] ]His focus is on "Strong correlations out of equilibrium," "Majorana representation of impurity spins" and "Geometrically frustrated spin systems."
