Ana Maria Rey
Perlin
I received my B.Sc. in physics at Oregon State University in 2015, spent a year in the Controlled Quantum Dynamics Group at Ulm University, and am currently a Ph.D. student in the Rey Theory Group at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Muleady
I completed my A.B. in physics at Princeton University in 2017, and subsequently enrolled in the Ph.D. program at the University of Colorado, Boulder and joined Professor Rey’s theory group.
Mamaev
I received my B.Sc. in mathematics & physics from McGill University in 2015. I stayed for two more years to complete an M.Sc. in physics. I moved to CU Boulder for a Ph.D. program in the fall of 2017, and work on theoretical AMO physics for Prof. Rey's group.
Gilmore
I graduated from Auburn University in 2013 with degrees in physics & philosophy, and subsequently started my graduate studies at CU Boulder. I joined Ana Maria Rey’s group in the fall of 2015 as an experimentalist working in the Ion Storage Group at NIST. I work on the Penning Trap quantum simulation experiment with John Bollinger (NIST). Our work is focused on engineering interactions between hundreds of ions in a 2D crystalline array to study quantum many-body dynamics and produce metrologically useful entangled states.
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.
