Carlos Nunez is a theoretical physicist. Originally from Argentina, he did his PhD. Degree
in Buenos Aires-La Plata Universities. After that he held postdoctoral position in Harvard (USA), Cambridge (UK) and MIT (USA), where he was a Pappalardo Fellow. He joined Swansea Physics Department in 2006 and is Professor since 2011.
I enjoyed teaching various courses from elementary Physics to advanced courses. Usually, I teach courses of Mathematics for Physicists. Also, I taught courses for postgraduate students in various summer schools.
In the last few years, I am working in the interface between Conformal Field Theories and Holography. I have a continuous interest on different topics in Quantum Field Theory and some aspects of Cosmology.
A full list of my publications can be found in
I have been distinguished with various visiting positions in different Physics Departments around the world. Among these: Oviedo University, IHES, Higgs Institute, Odense, Weizmann, CERN, Newton Institute, Santiago de Compostela, Natal, Max-Planck (Munich), La Plata, etc.
I was also awarded a Wolfson Research Merit Fellowship by the Royal Society in 2014.
As you can read in my publications list, I have collaborated with over 30 physicists from all around the world.
The module will first introduce static electric and magnetic fields, including a discussion of associated phenomena, and how they can be represented in terms of scalar and vector potentials. Using elements of vector calculus developed in PH-232, the unification of electric and magnetic phenomena will be described, leading to a derivation of Maxwell's equations, and an understanding of electromagnetic waves.
This module covers nuclear physics, including applications of fission and fusion.
I have delivered numerous public lectures about different aspects of Physics. I enjoy these occasions. Please contact me if you wish me to present a general/public talk in your scientific society.
