Ye Group

I am an NRC postdoctoral research associate working on the electron EDM project with Jun Ye and Eric Cornell.  I received my PhD from the Weizmann Institue of Science in Rehovot, Israel working in the group of Ed Narevicius.  My research there focused on low temperature chemistry and physics with cold molecules using a novel merged molecular beam technique.  

I am a Humboldt postdoc working on experiments with the strontium lattice clock.  Before coming to JILA, I did research on ytterbium ion clocks at PTB and studied ultracold Fermi gases at MIT.

I am a postdoctoral research associate in the KRb polar molecules project.  We are using ultracold polar molecules to study many-body physics with long-range interactions and ultracold chemistry.  I completed my Ph.D. work in the Ketterle group at MIT, where we used Bose-Einstein condensates in optical superlattice to explore interesting many-body phases.

I am a postdoctoral research associate working on the Sr optical lattice clock project.  We are using Sr atoms and state-of-the-art Si cavities to push the frontiers of stability and accuracy of frequency metrology. I completed my Ph.D. work in the Ketterle group at MIT, where I used Rb Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices to realize synthetic magnetic fields and new phases of quantum matter.

I am a postdoctoral research associate working on the YO project in the Ye group.  We are developing a 3D magneto-optical trap for YO that will enable direct cooling to microkelvin temperatures.  I completed my PhD work in the Blake group at Caltech, working on ultrafast terahertz and microwave spectroscopy of liquids and molecular clusters.

I am a postdoctoral research associate working towards producing the ultracold YO molecules using direct laser cooling.  I completed my PhD in Dzmitry Matsukevich's group at National University of Singapore, where I investigated the quantum nonlinearity in trapped ytterbium ions, and the quantum logic technique for single molecular ion.  

I am a postdoctoral research associate in the ultracold molecules group jointly led by Profs. Jun Ye and Debbie Jin at JILA.  My research focuses on implementing a quantum gas microscope to study the complex quantum dynamics of ultracold dipolar KRb molecules in optical lattices.  I received my PhD from MIT in Andrei Tokmakoff's group where I developed methods in broadband nonlinear infrared spectroscopy to study the molecular dynamics of liquid water.

Our research group explores the frontier of light-matter interactions. Precisely controlled lasers enable our communications with microscopically engineered quantum systems of atoms and molecules. By preparing matter in specific quantum states, and using probe light with the longest coherence time and precisely controlled waveform, we strive to make fundamental scientific discoveries and develop new enabling technologies.
