Biography

Associate Professor Tapio Simula was awarded a D.Sc. (Tech.) degree in physics in 2003 by Helsinki University of Technology. He then held postdoctoral positions at New Zealand (Otago), Denmark (Aarhus) and Japan (Okayama) before moving to Australia as a Monash Research Fellow in 2010. In 2019 he was awarded the Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship and moved to Swinburne University of Technology.

Tapio is a physicist (computational, experimental, and theoretical) with research interests in ultracold atoms, Bose-Einstein condensates, superfluidity, quantised vortices, quantum turbulence, topological quantum computation, analogue gravity and Floquet driven systems that break time-translation symmetry.
