A New Direction

After some thought, I have decided to retire the 'Eloquent Delinquent'. This might seem a little surprising to some but I have decided that I need to take this weblog in a new direction, one that is closer to my nascent scientific career. Starting today, this blog will be about the wondrous entity that is light and the blossoming field of photonics: I will attempt to explain in simple, clear and precise language the sheer beauty of what light is from a theoretical and computational perspective. I can think of nothing more captivating in the universe than light and feel that a forum like this can be a valuable place to disseminate information. There are at least 2 other blogs out there - Excited Light & the Photonics Spotlight - that focus on photonics but do so from an experimental framework focused mostly on laser technology. To my knowledge, this will be the first and only blog dedicated to the theoretical and computational investigation of light. This new blog, christened 'a universe of photons', will feature weekly posts on the nature of light along with key scientific milestones, reviews of important theoretical breakthroughs and novel computational approaches to model light both past and present, and commentary on all such things. I hope you enjoy.
