Martin M A Sieber

Martin M A Sieber is a Reader in Applied Mathematics at the School of Mathematics, University of Bristol, specializing in mathematical physics and quantum chaos. With a Ph.D. from Hamburg and an M.Sc. from California, his research focuses on the intersection of semiclassical physics, wave chaos, and random matrix theory in quantum systems.

Sieber's primary research explores quantum chaotic systems through semiclassical approximations, optical microresonators, and wave scattering phenomena. His work connects mathematical physics with experimental realizations in microwave and optical systems, analyzing resonance statistics, eigenfunction distributions, and directional emission in complex cavities. Key interests include the universal properties of chaotic scattering, trace formulas for quantum systems, and statistical behavior of disordered systems.

His publications demonstrate consistent focus on quantum chaos universality, semiclassical methods for wave systems, and optical/microwave resonator physics. Recent work shows progression toward symmetry-inclusive quantum models and experimental validations of random matrix theories.
