Teaching


In the past I have thought a number of undergraduate and graduate courses. At the undergraduate level, I have thought second year quantum mechanics, fourth year quantum mechanics, condensed matter physics, and current topics in condensed matter physics. At the graduate level, I have thought solid state physics, special topics in theoretical condensed matter physics and advanced statistical mechanics.

In 2013 and 2014, I was on a research leave supported by a Killam Research Fellowship from the Canada Council for the Arts. In 2015, I am on sabbatical leave, spending January to June 2015 in Vancouver working in the Physics & Astronomy Department at the University of British Columbia and TRIUMF (Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics). From June 2015 to December 2015, I was part time at the University of Waterloo, at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and at the Brockhouse Institute for Materials Research at nearby McMaster University.

As of January 2016, I am back to normal research, teaching and administrative duties. I am teaching two third year undergraduate courses: "Condensed Matter Physics" (Physics 335) and "Statistical Mechanics" (Physics 359).
