Chris Hooley

Dr Chris Hooley is a British theoretical physicist. He received a D.Phil. from the University of Oxford in 1999. He recently moved from the University of Birmingham to the University of St Andrews to take up a lectureship in theoretical condensed matter physics at the university's school of physics and astronomy.

He recently sponsored the [http://www.physicsbythelake.org/ Physics by the Lake School] . [ [http://www.iop.org/activity/groups/subject/tcm/News/page_8304.html Group News ] ] . Additionally he recently was hosted by Dundee West MP Jim McGovern through the Royal Society's annual MP scientist pairing scheme. Hooley is also the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Members Representative of the St Andrews Local Association of University Teachers.

His focus is on "Strong correlations out of equilibrium," "Majorana representation of impurity spins" and "Geometrically frustrated spin systems." [ [http://www.theory.bham.ac.uk/postdocs/hooley/index.htm Theoretical Physics Research Group ] ]
