Ross H. McKenzie is a Professor in Physics at the University of Queensland. From 2008 to 2012 he held an Australian Professorial Fellowship from the Australian Research Council. He works on quantum many-body theory of complex materials ranging from organic superconductors to biomolecules to rare-earth oxide catalysts.
McKenzie is critical of claims that quantum effects are significant in understanding the function of biomolecules.
He is author of a blog, Condensed Concepts: Ruminations on emergent phenomena in condensed phases of matter.
McKenzie is a Christian. He is author of a blog Soli Deo Gloria: Thoughts on Theology, Science, and Culture. He has written several papers about the relationship between science and theology.[1]
Education
He received his BSc from Australian National University. He obtained an MA from Princeton University. He completed his PhD at Princeton University in 1989, under Jim Sauls, with a thesis entitled: Nonlinear interaction of zero sound with the order parameter collective modes in superfluid 3He-B.
