Dr. Andrew Groszek completed his PhD in theoretical physics at Monash University in 2018, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Tapio Simula. His doctoral research involved the numerical simulation of non-equilibrium superfluids, with a particular interest in vortices and turbulence in these systems.
From 2018-2020, he worked as a postdoctoral research associate in the group of Dr. Thomas Billam at Newcastle University, United Kingdom. Here he continued his research on far-from-equilibrium systems, with a focus on superfluids away from the zero temperature limit.
In 2020, he joined the group of Prof. Matthew Davis at the University of Queensland, and is currently based in the ARC Centres of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems (EQUS) and Future Low-Energy Electronics Technology (FLEET). He is currently investigating periodically driven quantum systems, as well as providing numerical modelling for the Bose-Einstein condensate experiments located on campus.
