Welcome to the Antimatter & many-body theory group of Dermot Green at Queen’s University Belfast!

We develop theoretical and computational methods to describe the interactions of antimatter with atoms, molecules and condensed matter, to provide fundamental insight required to support and direct experiment, inform other theory, and develop antimatter-based technologies. The group director is Dr Dermot Green.

Charlie’s stint in the group ends: he moves to a new (~4-yr position) in molecular dynamics

Research Fellow Charlie Rawlins has taken up a new Research Fellow post at Queen’s focussing on developing molecular dynamics funded by US-Ireland programme. Charlie was a very welcome addition to the group: coming from Perth, Australia, he joined the group (as the second Research Fellow) winter 2019, not long before UK lockdown, and worked on developing our EXCITON+ positron-many-body code, in particular leading calculations of positron scattering on H2, N2 and CH4 (to be submitted). We wish him the best in his new role, and now he’s staying at Queen’s we’ll actually get to meet him in person!

Here’s a photo of Charlie showing my daughter a kitten that he’d rescued (one of a number).
