Comment: He is right on the border of a pass of WP:NPROF . See if you can add anything (not bragging) to strengthen the case.N.B., if a page is created it will probably be "John Goold (physicist)" as there is already John Goold. Ldm1954 (talk) 23:58, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

John Goold is an Irish theoretical physicist and Professor in Physics at Trinity College Dublin, and the brother of Gaelic football player Fintan Goold.[1] He is known for his research in quantum thermodynamics, quantum information, and many-body physics.[2] Goold leads the Quantum Systems Unit (QuSys) at Trinity, having collaborations with IBM and Microsoft.[3][4]
Education
[edit]Goold studied physics at University College Cork (UCC), where he obtained a Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree in 2006. He remained at UCC for his doctoral studies, completing a PhD in Physics in 2010, supervised by Professor Thomas Busch.[1]
Career
[edit]Following his PhD, Goold held a research fellowship at the Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore, in 2010. He then moved to the University of Oxford with an INSPIRE Marie Curie Fellowship at the Clarendon Laboratory, where he worked from 2010 to 2013. From 2013 to 2017, he was a Research Scientist at the Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics division of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy.[5][6]
In 2017, Goold joined the School of Physics at Trinity College Dublin as an Assistant Professor. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2019 and to full Professor in 2024.[1] In 2022, he was elected as a Fellow in Trinity.[7] He established the Trinity Quantum Alliance in 2023 along with Microsoft and IBM, which brings together experts from research and industry.[8][9]
Goold has worked on quantum thermodynamics, particularly in the theory of work extraction, quantum batteries, and the thermodynamics of information.[10][11] He has also contributed to the study of non-equilibrium dynamics, ergodicity breaking, and irreversibility in many-body quantum systems.[12] He published one of the first reviews of the intersection between thermodynamics and quantum information theory (Goold, 2017).[13]
Honours and Awards
[edit]Goold is the recipient of a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant and an ERC Consolidator Grant.[14] He has also been awarded a Royal Society–Science Foundation Ireland University Research Fellowship and an SFI Frontiers for the Future Grant.[15][16] In 2022, he was elected as a Fellow in Trinity.[7] He was awarded the AMBER Industry Engagement Award, alongside Stefano Sanvitos in 2023.[17]
