Research Interests
My research area is experimental atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics. Ultracold atoms have been the system of choice in many experiments as they are highly-controllable, many-body quantum systems, which are free from defects associated with other systems. At Cal Poly, we are building an ultracold atom lab to perform experiments on ultracold systems.
Working in an experimental AMO lab is a great learning experience for undergraduate students. For those planning to attend graduate school, this will be beneficial to build a strong background in research. For those who plan to go into industry, practical skills gained (e.g., electronics, optics, lasers, vacuum technology, and so on, you name it!) will prepare students well.
