Dr. Ian Finneran
I am a postdoctoral research associate working on the YO project in the Ye group. We are developing a 3D magneto-optical trap for YO that will enable direct cooling to microkelvin temperatures. I completed my PhD work in the Blake group at Caltech, working on ultrafast terahertz and microwave spectroscopy of liquids and molecular clusters.

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.
