Stephen M. Winter
Assistant Professor of Physics
214 Olin Physical Laboratory
336.758.7165
winters@wfu.edu
Steve Winter concentrates on theoretical condensed matter physics in the area of Quantum Materials — including quantum magnets and topological insulators. We use a variety of theoretical approaches – including large numerical simulations and analytical (pen on paper) calculations – to try to model experiments on real materials, as well as classify and predict new quantum phases.
