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.

Miller

I am a graduate student on the KRb experiment, studying many-body physics using ultracold molecules. I previously studied physics and applied math at Harvard, where I worked on laser cooling polyatomic molecules and ultrasensitive atomic force microscopy.

Miklos

I work on one of the strontium clock experiments-- on our particular project, we're building a new machine with an optical lattice clock inside a high-finesse cavity. We're aiming to use the long-range interactions unlocked by our cavity as a new platform to study both precision metrology (for example, by achieving a spin-squeezed clock), and many-body physics. I previously studied physics and math at Harvard, working in Misha Lukin's group on a coupled NV/nanomechanical oscillator system.

Liu

I am a postdoctoral research associate working on infrared spectroscopy of buffer gas cooled fullerenes. I earned my PhD in the Ni group at Harvard assembling ultracold molecules with optical tweezers.
