Salman Habib           

I am a member of T-2, the Nuclear & Particle Physics, Astrophysics, and Cosmology Group in the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory. (Formerly, I was in the Elementary Particles and Field Theory Group T-8, now subsumed by T-2, and visiting faculty in Physics at Caltech). My personal home page is located off-site.

My research focuses mainly on the dynamics of classical and quantum field theories with applications in particle physics, condensed matter systems, atomic and quantum optics, accelerator physics, and cosmology. Other areas include quantum dynamics of open systems, astrophysics, nonlinear dynamics, and stochastic PDEs. I am interested in the intelligent application of supercomputers to solving physics problems.

I obtained my undergraduate degree at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi and my Ph. D. from the University of Maryland, both in physics. My thesis adviser at Maryland was Bei-Lok Hu. I was a post-doctoral fellow with Bill Unruh at the University of British Columbia before arriving at Los Alamos, first as a post-doctoral fellow in the groups T-6 (Theoretical Astrophysics) and T-8, later becoming a staff member in T-8.
