Dr. Ray Gamble congratulates Dr. Bryce Gadway on his Oustanding Presentation Award.
JILA researchers garnered two Outstanding Presentation awards at the Boulder Laboratories 10th annual Postdoctoral Poster Symposium held on July 17, 2013. Bryce Gadway, a research associate in the Ye group, was recognized for his presentation “Realizing a Lattice Spin System with Ultracold Polar Molecules.” Gadway’s co-authors included poster co-presenter Jacob Covey as well as Bo Yan, Steve Moses, Kaden Hazzard, Ana Maria Rey, Deborah Jin, and Jun Ye. Covey was cited for doing a commendable job as a presenter.
Graduate student Justin Bohnet of the Thompson group received an Outstanding Presentation Award for a poster entitled “A Steady-State Superradiant Raman Laser.” Bohnet’s co-authors were Josh Weiner, Kevin Cox, Zilong Chen, Matt Norcia, and James Thompson.
Five Outstanding Presentation Awards were given to postdoctoral and graduate student researchers at the symposium. Senior scientists selected the awardees by observing outstanding quality in both poster preparation and the accompanying oral presentations.

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.
