Joyce joined the group as a postdoctoral researcher in the spring of 2025. She completed her PhD at Harvard University in the group of Markus Greiner, where she pursued the quantum simulation of bosonic Hubbard models in a quantum gas microscope. Previously, she worked in the group of Holger Müller at UC Berkeley, and was employed at Apple as an electrical engineer. She is currently pursuing quantum simulation with strontium in an optical cavity.

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.
