Before joining the Kaufman Group, Jack completed his undergraduate degree in Baltimore at Johns Hopkins. There, he quickly became fascinated with many-body physics, leading him to work in experimental condensed matter under Prof. Collin Broholm. Using neutron scattering, he investigated quantum magnetism and superconductivity and even tried to synthesize some novel materials. His path to AMO began the first time he heard about optical tweezers. After two years of imaging materials with scattering, the opportunity to catch individual atoms in the catch was too good to pass up.
