DrPaul Tangney

I hold a joint appointment in the departments of Physics and Materials.

I obtained my undergraduate and masters degrees in physics from University College Cork, and my PhD in Condensed Matter Theory from the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste. My doctoral research was carried out both at SISSA and at Princeton University, where, in 2001 and 2002, I was a visiting technical staff member and visiting graduate student in the Departments of Chemistry and Geosciences. In 2002 I moved to the Physics Department of the University of California at Berkeley and the Material Sciences Division of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) as a postdoctoral fellow. From 2004 to 2007 I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Theory Facility of the Molecular Foundry at LBL.

I do theoretical and computational research, and I have broad interests in physics, materials science, chemistry, and related fields.

Some of my theoretical research can be found at addledmind.org.
