I'm a post-doctoral researcher with a wide range of interests. I'm currently working in Earth systems science, but I have strong research interests in
- the foundations of statistical mechanics and its relationship to information theory
- the thermodynamic properties of radiation
- non-equilibrium thermodynamics in general
- complex systems
I'm also generally interested in the foundations of quantum mechanics and in black holes, though I wouldn't say I'm an expert in those things.
It's probably worth noting that despite my strong research interests in physics, all my degrees are in other subjects.

Problems with certain times occuring twice (or not at all) in night of daylight saving time to standard time I once had to spend I night in a train station in the UK (where I live) because there was no 2:30 train due to there being no such time as 2:30 that night. With a flight though, you'd be booked in advance, so one would hope this sort of problem wouldn't occur. |

Can I use a power adapter designed for USA in Japan? @Random832 just chargers for my phone, laptop, hair clippers and ebook reader. I checked that all of them can handle the 110 volt supply; one slight complication is that most of them have a UK plug but the hair clippers have a European one. I already went ahead and bought the charger I linked to in the question, as the people in the shop said it should work in Japan, and it can do everything I need. |

Can I use a power adapter designed for USA in Japan? I was planning to buy one - I'd prefer to buy before I go even if it's a bit more expensive, because my phone and computer both have short battery lives, and I'll need to charge them when I get to my hotel in the evening, before I'll have a chance to go shopping. I'll bear that in mind though! |
