NIST and JILA Fellow Ana Maria Rey
Fellow Ana Maria Rey is Woman Physicist of the Month for June.
Rey is theorist working on many complicated problems in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) Physics. She is well known for her collaborations at JILA with experimentalists Deborah Jin and Jun Ye as well as theorist Murray Holland, CU theorists Victor Guarie and Michael Hermele, and physicists at institutions in the United States and abroad.
Dr. Rey joined JILA and the University of Colorado Physics Department at Boulder in 2008. For more information on her accomplishments, please visit the APS Woman Physicist of the Month website.
Principal Investigators
The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
