Berera, ArjunArjun Berera is Professor in Physics at the University of Edinburgh. He held research positions in the US before joining the faculty at Edinburgh. His research is focused on quantum field theory and statistical physics, and he has published extensively in these areas. He has over two decades of teaching experience at the undergraduate and graduate levels across a range of courses, including quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics.
Del Debbio, LuigiLuigi Del Debbio is Professor in Physics at the University of Edinburgh. He has held research positions in the United Kingdom, France, Italy and CERN, before joining the faculty at Edinburgh. His research is centred on non-perturbative aspects of field theories and their application to particle physics. He has extensive teaching experience at both graduate and undergraduate level and has been the Programme Coordinator for the Mathematical Physics degree at Edinburgh for a number of years.
