Biographical Sketch

I received a B.S. in Engineering Physics from Cornell University in 1982 and a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1987. My thesis advisor at UIUC was Anthony Leggett, 2003 Nobel Laureate in Physics. From 1987-1989 I was the IBM Postdoctoral Fellow at the Laboratory of Atomic and Solid State Physics at Cornell University. I joined the faculty of the Department of Physics at the University of Virginia in 1989, and in 1995 became Associate Professor (with tenure); from 1991-1994 I was an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow, and in 1996 I received the department's Outstanding Teaching Award. In 1997 I joined the faculty of the Department of Physics at the University of Florida, and became Professor in 1998 and Department Chair in November 2002.

Current Research

	Condensed matter theory, particularly   - supersolid phases of matter   - fluctuations and dynamic scaling in superconductors   - theory of the ``pseudogap'' phase in the cuprate superconductors   - bubble and stripe phases in quantum Hall systems in moderate magnetic fields   - vortex dynamics in superfluids and superconductors   - pattern formation in nonequilibrium systems   - applications of asymptotic analysis to problems in superconductivity
	Recent papers and preprints can be downloaded in PDF format.
	Our current research group consists of myself, graduate student Chi-Deuk Yoo, and Dr. Jose Miranda, a visiting professor from Brazil.
