Dr. Calum Ross
Biography
I was born and grew up in the Highlands of Scotland, before studying for an MPhys in Theoretical Physics at Lancaster University. I then did a masters in applied mathematics at the University of Cambridge. My PhD is in mathematics from Heriot-Watt University outside of Edinburgh. During my PhD I specialised in mathematical physics, in particular studying the geometry of integrable vortex equations. Following my PhD I was a postdoc at Keio University in Japan, where I was a member of the Topological Science project studying solitons in magnetic systems. I joined UCC in 2020.
Research Interests
My research has mostly been related to field theories, particularly gauge theories which admit soliton solutions. I have also worked a little with the theory of synthetic gauge fields in ultracold atomic gasses. A recent theme of my research has involved finding and exploring solvable models of magnetic skyrmions.
