I theoretically study the behavior of ultracold atomic systems. I am
interested in
"emergent" properties of
many-body systems, and spend most of my time thinking about this phenomenon
in ultracold gases. The vision is that fundamental advances in controlling, measuring, and understanding these many-body
quantum systems will impact our knowledge of other fields through "quantum simulation", broadly construed, and enable applications in quantum metrology,
precision measurement, and quantum computation.
More about what I am thinking about - and
why - can be
found on this webpage in the research interests and publications pages.
I grew up in Ohio and attended the Ohio State University for my bachelor's
degree. I received my PhD from Cornell University, working with
Erich Mueller
in 2010. I spent 2010-14 as a
postdoc at
JILA working with
Ana Maria Rey
and collaborating with lots of other JILAns. Since July 2014, I have been faculty in the
Rice University
department of physics and astronomy.
