A theoretical condensed matter physicist who coauthored, with David Snoke, a study of the experimental search for exciton Bose-Einstein condensation in copper(I) oxide. Their analysis emphasizes Auger recombination, a density-dependent loss mechanism that complicates interpretation of spectroscopic evidence. Understanding the loss processes is necessary before assigning collective quantum behavior to a dense exciton gas.[ref]
