David C. Nak
David joined the group as a postdoctoral researcher in the fall of 2025. He conducted his doctoral studies at the University of Hamburg, Institute for Quantum Physics in the group of Prof. Andreas Hemmerich, researching cavity QED and developing a sub-100 Hz quasi-continuous superradiant laser with bosonic calcium atoms in a standing wave cavity. Previously, he has worked on a rubidium spinor BEC experiment in the group of Prof. Klaus Sengstock at the University of Hamburg and a rubidium quantum gas microscope in the Quantum Many-Body Dynamics research team at RIKEN, led by Prof. Takeshi Fukuhara. He is currently working on the strontium millihertz linewidth continuous superradiant laser experiment.

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.
