Professor Brad Foreman earned his BS (1988) and MS (1990) degrees from the University of Missouri-Rolla (now called the Missouri University of Science and Technology). He completed his PhD degree at Cornell University in 1995. After a year of postdoctoral research at the University of Essex, he joined the Physics Department of HKUST in 1996. In 2000, he received the School of Science Teaching Award of HKUST.
Professor Foreman's current research deals with the foundations of quantum mechanics. He has worked previously on theoretical semiconductor physics, including electrons and phonons in low-dimensional systems, envelope-function theory, first-principles electronic structure, and localized basis sets. He has also worked on light-matter interactions in cold atomic gases, mainly on the use of optical vortex modes to produce novel effective Hamiltonians in the adiabatic approximation. |
