S. Hands

Simon Hands graduated with the B.A. degree from Cambridge University in 1983 and the Ph.D. degree from Edinburgh University in 1986. Since then, he has held research positions at the Universities of Oxford, Illinois, and Glasgow, followed by a period at CERN, before joining the newly formed particle physics theory group at Swansea in 1993. He held both Advanced and Senior Research Fellowships from the UK funding body PPARC, and became a Professor at Swansea in 2003. My research has always centred on lattice field theory, with interests ranging over dynamical symmetry breaking, lattice fermion formulations, topological excitations, disordered systems, low-dimensional fermion models with applications in condensed matter systems, and novel techniques in spectroscopy. Much of his recent attention has focussed on the study of QCD under extreme conditions of temperature and in particular nonzero baryon charge density.
