Research Interests
Our research is concentrated on creating novel macroscopic and mesoscopic quantum systems using ultra-cold atoms.  We are building a robust, flexible, magnetically shielded instrument to study these systems.  With our experiment, we will study atoms in optical lattices, spinor bose condensate, and periodically-dressed condensates.
