Research
Specialty: Doing Research that Matters in ultracold plasmas, laser cooling, atomic spectroscopy, and biophotonics (experimental)
Supervised Theses and Dissertations
Professional Bio
I teach physics classes and do research in atomic physics. I use lasers to cool and trap atoms, make plasmas, measure atomic transition wavelengths, and detect biomolecules.
I'm always interested in new ideas and collaborative research projects. Email me if you would like to pursue interesting, fun, or practical research projects using lasers, optics, or instrumentation.
My research in plasma and atomic physics includes laser cooling and trapping, ultracold plasmas and strongly-coupled Coulomb systems, and precision laser spectroscopy. I also have a modest research and development program in biophotonic instrumentation and measurements.
