Hi, I am Joost Slingerland . I'm a theoretical physicist working on topological phenomena in condensed matter physics and on their application to topological quantum computation. For some introductory material on topological quantum computing you can view my Topological Quantum Media Pages.

I am a lecturer in the department of mathematical physics at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth. I am also affiliated with the School of Theoretical Physics of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (I was a Schrödinger Fellow there until recently). I am a member of DaQisT, the Dublin Area Quantum Information Science and Technology Group.

RESEARCH
Here's a link to a list of my publications and other writings.
I have obtained sponsorship for my research from the Science Foundation Ireland in the form of a Principal Investigator grant which started this year. I have hired a postdoc and a PhD student. I have another funded PhD position available.

TEACHING
In the Fall of 2009, I am teaching the following courses (click to visit the webpages)

Some history...
In 2006-2007, I was a postdoc at UC Riverside, with Kirill Shtengel, as well as a long term visitor in theoretical physics at the Institute for Quantum Information at Caltech. Before that I worked at Station Q , Microsoft's research station dedicated to topological quantum computation, which was housed in the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UCSB and has now moved to the California Nanosystems Institute, next door to the KITP.


Right now, I am not looking for a new job. Still, you are welcome to have a look at
