Biography
Dr. Adams is currently in the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences since 2009. He completed the equivalent of a M.Sc. in maths and physics at Aarhus University (Denmark) in 1992, and Ph.D. at the University of Dublin (Trinity College) in 1997. Prior to his current appointment he held postdoctoral and faculty positions at a number of universities including Adelaide U., Duke U., Leiden U., Seoul National U., and Taiwan National U. During this time he was the recipient of an ARC fellowship from the Australian Research Council and a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship from the European Commission. His publications include four single-author articles in the premier physics journal `Physical Review Letters' and have garnered over 500 citations according to the Spires HEP database.
