Biography
Dr Martin Galpin is a Departmental Lecturer in Mathematics for Chemistry at Oxford. He also coordinate these courses within the Chemistry Department and give most of the first-year lectures and give some tutorials to the first-year Univ biochemists, in maths and statistics. At the graduate level, he organise and teach the core maths component of the CDT in Theory and Modelling in the Chemical Sciences and he is one of the coordinators of its Transferrable Skills and Outreach programmes.
Research Interest
Professor Galpin's research lies in the area of condensed matter theory, where the aim is to characterise and understand the physical properties of materials consisting of enormously large numbers of interacting particles. Of particular interest are 'strongly-correlated' systems, in which the interactions between particles are simply too large to ignore or treat using mean-field approaches. One instead develops quantum many-body techniques to determine the underlying physical behaviour. He is currently interested in many-body effects on the nanoscale, as observed in the electronic conductance of single molecules, carbon nanotubes and other so-called 'quantum dot' devices.
