What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Internal medicine
  • Optics

Andrew Forbes mostly deals with Randomized controlled trial, Optics, Surgery, Physical therapy and Internal medicine. His studies in Randomized controlled trial integrate themes in fields like Osteoarthritis, Anesthesia, Clinical trial and Relative risk, Number needed to treat. His Clinical trial research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Psychological intervention and Patient satisfaction.

His Optics research includes themes of Optical field and Angular momentum. The study incorporates disciplines such as Quantum entanglement, Bessel function and Photon in addition to Angular momentum. His Surgery research includes elements of Cartilage and Risk factor.

His most cited work include:

  • Bispectral index monitoring to prevent awareness during anaesthesia: the B-Aware randomised controlled trial (901 citations)
  • Bispectral index monitoring to prevent awareness during anaesthesia: the B-Aware randomised controlled trial (901 citations)
  • Avoidance of nitrous oxide for patients undergoing major surgery - A randomized controlled trial (305 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Optics, Laser, Angular momentum, Quantum mechanics and Randomized controlled trial. His Spatial light modulator, Beam, Laser beam quality, Bessel function and Holography study are his primary interests in Optics. His Laser study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Optoelectronics and Resonator.

His research in Angular momentum is mostly concerned with Orbital angular momentum of light. His study in Randomized controlled trial is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Anesthesia, Physical therapy and Clinical trial. As part of one scientific family, Andrew Forbes deals mainly with the area of Physical therapy, narrowing it down to issues related to the Osteoarthritis, and often Cartilage.

  • Optics (51.21%)
  • Laser (18.86%)
  • Angular momentum (16.78%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Optics (51.21%)
  • Structured light (7.35%)
  • Angular momentum (16.78%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Optics, Structured light, Angular momentum, Quantum and Quantum entanglement. His Optics study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Phase. His Structured light research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Polarization, Holography, Vortex, Electronic engineering and Laser.

His Angular momentum research incorporates themes from Field, Optical communication and Optical tweezers. The concepts of his Quantum entanglement study are interwoven with issues in Topology and Photon. His Photon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quantum state, Quantum tomography, Quantum channel and Quantum network.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Restrictive versus Liberal Fluid Therapy for Major Abdominal Surgery (254 citations)
  • A review of complex vector light fields and their applications (125 citations)
  • Creation and Detection of Vector Vortex Modes for Classical and Quantum Communication (110 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Internal medicine
  • Optics

His primary areas of investigation include Optics, Structured light, Randomized controlled trial, Angular momentum and Quantum entanglement. Optics is closely attributed to Phase in his work. His Structured light study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Superposition principle, Laser and Holography.

His Randomized controlled trial study which covers Clinical trial that intersects with Physical therapy. His study in Angular momentum is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Geometric phase, Spatial light modulator, Optical communication, Helicity and Quantum information science. His studies in Quantum entanglement integrate themes in fields like Statistical physics, Classical mechanics and Photon.
