Matthew Davis is a New Zealand/Australian physicist, and is head of Physics at the University of Queensland, Australia.[1] He is known for his work on the dynamics of vortices and superfluidity in Bose–Einstein condensates, particularly at finite temperatures.[2]
Davis received a BSc(Hons) from the University of Otago in New Zealand in 1997 and a D.Phil. (in atomic and laser physics) from the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom in 2001.[4]
Davis was an EPSRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Theoretical Physics at the University of Oxford in the UK 2001, a UQ Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Queensland in Australia 2002, became a lecturer at UQ in 2003, Senior Lecturer in 2005, Associate Professor in 2009, Professor of Theoretical Physics in 2013, and Head of Physics at UQ in 2017.[1]
Davis is a Chief Investigator within the ARC Centre of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (FLEET) investigating novel nonequilibrium states of matter.[5]
He is also a Chief Investigator within the ARC Centre for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQUS), studying the quantum behaviour of ultra-cold gases and Bose–Einstein condensation.[6]
As of September 2018, Davis has co-edited one book, authored five book chapters,[2] and published 75 journal articles, 24 conference papers, and one other publication.
Davis currently has a career h-index of 31 (31 publications with more than 31 citations), and his papers have attracted 2989 citations in total, averaging almost 40 citations per article, and with more than 1000 citations in the last four years.[7][8][9]
