Daniel Dundas

Dr. Daniel Dundas is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Physics at Queen's University Belfast (QUB), affiliated with the Centre for Light-Matter Interaction (CLMI). He specializes in theoretical physics, focusing on quantum dynamics in laser-matter interactions, molecular electronics, and ultrafast phenomena. His research explores electron behavior in molecules under XUV pulses, stability of hole states, and nanowire properties. He has led/co-led multiple projects, including an active Advanced Theoretical Network for Modelling Light-Matter Interaction (since 2018) and a Photoelectron Spectrum Library initiative (2015–2016).
