- Durham University Department of Physics (2005–present)
- Deputy Executive Dean (Education) in Faculty of Science
Education: Originally from Hamilton, New Zealand, Gardiner studied Biology and Chemistry at the University of Waikato before shifting to Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. He completed his doctoral studies in theoretical physics at the Leopold-Franzens University of Innsbruck, Austria.
Gardiner’s research focuses on theoretical atomic physics, cold-atom physics, and quantum nonlinear dynamics. His work includes:
- Quantum dynamics of bright matter-wave solitons
- Quantum resonance phenomena in laser-pulsed atomic systems
- Cooperative effects in atomic arrays
- Spin-orbit coupling in correlated atom systems
- Atomtronic circuitry
- Development of number-conserving models for Bose-Einstein condensates
Recent publications (2019–2025) demonstrate his ongoing contributions to:
- Quantum soliton interferometry
- Photon correlations in thermal atomic ensembles
- High-energy physics simulation tools
- Machine learning applications in physics
- Atomic array optical properties
- Nonlinear quantum dynamics
