General Research Interests
The developing field of ultracold atomic physics provides tantalizing
opportunities for exploring physical phenomena in a regime
that has heretofore been inaccessible: material systems with
temperatures in the nanokelvin range (and below), with broadly
and instantly tunable interactions, residing in dynamically
adaptable containers, and amenable to the precise manipulation
and detection tools of atomic physics. My research has focused
on developing further capabilities in this field, and utilizing
these advances to study many-body quantum physics, to explore
the "coherent optics" and "quantum optics" of
matter waves, to realize novel consequences of light-atom interactions,
and to perform precision measurements of scientific and technological
importance.
