Ross H. McKenzie
I am now happily retired. I used to be paid to have fun at work trying to use quantum many-body theory to understand electronic properties of complex materials.I am married to the lovely Robin and have two adult children and a dog, Priya (in the photo). I also write an even more personal blog Soli Deo Gloria [thoughts on theology, science, and culture]
