Works
McKenzie works on quantum many-body theory of complex materials ranging from organic superconductors to biomolecules to rare-earth oxide catalysts. He is critical of claims that quantum effects are significant in understanding the function of biomolecules. He is author of a blog, "Condensed Concepts: Ruminations on emergent phenomena in condensed phases of matter".
McKenzie is a Christian. He is author of a blog "Soli Deo Gloria: Thoughts on Theology, Science, and Culture". He has written several papers about the relationship between science and theology.[1]
Education
He received his BSc from Australian National University. He obtained an MA from Princeton University. He completed his PhD at Princeton University in 1989, under Jim Sauls, with a thesis entitled: Nonlinear interaction of zero sound with the order parameter collective modes in superfluid 3He-B.
