Patrick Copinger

Patrick Copinger is a Post Doctoral Research Fellow at the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics, University of Plymouth, within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. His research focuses on quantum field theory in extreme conditions, including strong electromagnetic fields, topological effects, and emergent spacetime phenomena. Key areas of exploration include Schwinger pair production, Berry phase dynamics, and non-Abelian worldline formalisms.

His work spans theoretical physics with applications to particle physics, high-energy phenomena, and condensed matter systems. Notable contributions involve analyzing angular momentum inheritance in chromoelectric fields, curvature-induced pseudogauge fields in graphene, and emergent spacetime models from gauge field couplings. Recent studies (2023-2025) emphasize scattering processes in ultra-intense laser environments and resummation techniques in strong-field QED.

Research trends reflect a strong emphasis on non-perturbative methods and topological structures, with interdisciplinary links to both fundamental physics and advanced materials science.
