Dr Fiona Burnell
BSc, PhD
Quondam Fellow since 2013
Fiona Burnell has continued her research in theoretical condensed matter physics, and has co-authored three published articles and three articles submitted for publication. She has also given seminars at Cambridge and Birmingham universities, and presented an invited talk at one conference. She runs a weekly Condensed Matter Theory seminar series, organised a two-day workshop on Topological Quantum Information in September 2012, and served on the scientific committee for a follow-up workshop in February 2013.
