A physicist and author of teaching texts on condensed matter physics and quantum matter. His treatment of linear response develops a useful progression: calculate how independent electrons respond to a perturbing potential, then include the additional field produced by their own rearranged charge. The resulting random phase approximation explains screening effect as a self-consistent response, giving students a route from a microscopic model to the collective electrical behavior of a material.[ref]
