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.

Introducing Dr Hofierka: Jaroslav successfully defends his PhD!

Group PhD student Jaroslav Hofierka successully completed his PhD, titled “Many-body theory of positron-molecule interactions”. Below is a photo of the group with the external examiner Prof Vitali Averbukh (Imperial College London) and our colleague Dr Gleb Gribakin (QUB internal examiner).

Congratulations to Jaroslav! Jaroslav will now take up a postdoc position with the internationally-renowned Heidelberg group of Prof Lorenz Cederbaum. We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with Jaroslav in the future!
