Alexander 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.

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.
