worked in a variety of fields of physics, starting at UBC in Vancouver BC where he worked on aspects of cosmology at the QCD phase-transition, including a model for quark anti-matter nuggets explaining dark-matter and baryogensis. He obtained his Ph.D. from
MIT working with Frank Wilczek and Krishna Rajagopal on aspects of high-density matter in neutron stars, and related properties of superfluids in cold atom systems. After post-docs at UW in the nuclear theory group, as a directors fellow at Los Alamos National
Laboratory, and a research assistant professor at UW in the Institute for Nuclear Theory (INT), he is now an assistant professor at WSU and affiliate professor at UW where he works on problems related on superfluid dynamics in cold atoms, quantum turbulence,
nuclear structure, LIGO, and astrophysics.</span></p>
