Ye Group

Jun Ye group

Weichman

I am a NRC postdoctoral research associate working on the mid-IR frequency comb project in the Ye group.  I'm interested in cold chemistry and molecular spectroscopy.  I completed my PhD in Dan Neumark's group at UC-Berkeley, where I used high-resolution photoelectron imaging to study cold molecular and cluster anions. 

Valtolina

I am a JILA postdoc in the ultracold KRb polar molecules experiment in the Ye group.  We are developing a new apparatus for enhanced control at the single-molecule level with both electric and optical fields.  I completed my PhD at Scuola Normale Superiore - Pisa, working in Massimo Inguscio's group at LENS - Florence on the dynamics and transport properties of strongly interacting atomic Fermi gases.

Toscano

I am a Lindemann postdoctoral research fellow working on the mid-IR frequency comb project.  I received my PhD from the University of Oxford, where I worked on the Zeeman deceleration and magnetic guiding of radicals in the groups of Dr. Brianna Heazlewood and Professor Tim Softley.

Shagam

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.  

Sanner

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.

Li

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.

Kennedy

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.
