We are excited to welcome Dr. Thomas Iadecola to our department.  He received his PhD from Boston University under the supervision of Prof. Claudio Chamon in 2017.  He has been a JQI Theoretical Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Maryland, College Park from 2017 - present.  Tom works on a variety of topics in quantum condensed matter theory, with special emphasis on out-of-equilibrium quantum systems and topological states of matter. On the nonequilibrium side, he studies properties of highly-excited many-body states and the surprising phenomena they harbor that challenge deeply ingrained intuition based on quantum statistical mechanics. On the topological side, he focuses on states of matter whose properties cannot be understood within the traditional paradigm of spontaneous symmetry breaking, and which could enable the robust storage and manipulation of quantum information.

We are excited to welcome Dr. Jacob Simon to the Physics and Astronomy Department. He received his Ph.D. in Astrophysics at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville under the supervision of Prof. John Hawley in 2010. He then became a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA) from 2010 to 2013, a NASA Sagan Fellow at the Southwest Research Institute from 2013 to 2016, and he is currently a Senior Research Associate at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Dr. Simon is a computational astrophysicist applying high performance computing techniques to the problems of turbulence and accretion in protoplanetary disks, to understand how the Solar System and planetary systems around other stars form and evolve.
