Bill Poirier is a distinguished researcher in theoretical chemistry and physics, focusing on the quantum dynamics of molecules. His work aims to solve the Schrodinger equation from both fundamental and practical perspectives. His research spans diverse areas, from evaluating carbon nanomaterials for hydrogen storage to developing new formulations of quantum mechanics. He is recognized for his scientific contributions and his teaching, particularly in thermodynamics.
Debunking Common Misconceptions in Theoretical Physics
Carroll The Multiversal book series is equally unique, providing book-length extensions of the lectures with enough additional depth for those who truly want to explore these fields, while also providing the kind of clarity that is appropriate for interested lay people to grasp the general principles involved.
Thermodynamics is the science that describes the behavior of matter at the macroscopic scale, and how this arises from individual molecules. As such, it is a subject of profound practical and fundamental importance to many science and engineering fields.
