Niels Walet

Niels Walet is Professor of Theoretical Physics at The University of Manchester and Associate Dean for Online and Flexible Learning in the Faculty of Science and Engineering. His research focuses on theoretical nuclear physics and condensed matter physics, with interests in computational approaches, many-body systems, and topological excitations. He has contributed to e-learning resources using simulations and has led several successful projects within the Department. Walet is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and a Member of the European Physical Society. His work addresses topics such as the exact renormalisation group, Skyrmions, and effective field theory descriptions of light nuclei.

Niels Walet is a Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Manchester, specializing in Theoretical Physics, Nuclear Physics, Condensed Matter, and Many body theory. His research focuses on the theoretical modeling of complex quantum systems, including the behavior of electrons in twisted bilayer graphene, the role of electrostatic effects in superconductivity, and the dynamics of many-fermion systems. He has also explored nuclear physics, particularly the interplay between spin and isospin correlations in nuclei, and the theoretical foundations of color superconductivity. His work often bridges condensed matter and high-energy physics, with a strong emphasis on many-body effects and their implications for both materials science and fundamental interactions.
