Research Statemet

My main research interests focus on applying techniques of ultracold physics and quantum coherent control to precision measurements. Our group is working towards an optical clock based on the thorium nuclear transition.

We always have openings for self-motivated undergraduates, PhD students and postdoctoral fellows.
