Jun Ye group

Carroll

I work on the KRb experiment, exploring many-body physics with ultracold polar molecules. I received my undergraduate degree in physics from Princeton University and studied condensed matter problems in the Yazdani and the Houck labs.

Kim

I am a postdoc working on the strontium lattice clock experiments. I finished my Ph.D. in the Jae-yoon Choi group at KAIST(Korea), where I studied ultracold lithium atoms focusing on quantum gas experiments.

Aggarwal

I am a postdoctoral research associate working on laser cooling and trapping of YO molecules. I did my Ph.D. work in the group of Prof. Steven Hoekstra at the University of Groningen, where I worked on the production and Stark deceleration of molecular beams.

William Milner wins this year's GPMFC Student Poster Prize at DAMOP

This year's winner of the Group for Precision Measurement and Fundamental Constants (GPMFC) Student Poster Prize is JILA student William Milner.  Milner's poster prize was won at DAMOP, which is a part of the American Physics Society (APS) and stands for Division of Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics.  The title of his poster was "Exploring interactions in the band insulating regime with Fermi-degenerate 87 Sr".  Congratulations Will!

Matsuda

I work on the KRb experiment, where we are studying many-body physics and ultracold chemistry with a quantum gas of polar molecules. I received my Bachelor's degree from Harvard, where I worked on laser cooling of molecules in Professor John Doyle's lab.

von der Wense

I am a Humboldt postdoctoral research fellow working on the XUV frequency comb project towards direct laser spectroscopy of the 229mTh nuclear transition and the development of a nuclear optical clock. I received my PhD from LMU Munich in Germany in 2017 in the field of nuclear physics for the direct detection of the 229mTh nuclear transition.

Staron

I am a graduate student in the strontium research group working on ultra-low phase-noise laser instrumentation for use in precision metrology and the investigation of quantum many-body physics. I completed my bachelor's and master's degrees at Miami University where I studied galactic dynamics with Dr. Stephen Alexander and performed optical lattice experiments with Dr. Samir Bali.
