- Saajid Chowdhury
Ph. D. StudentSaajid loves to learn, teach, and solve problems involving math, physics, and algorithms. He is currently using quantum Monte Carlo techniques to study atom-ion clusters, and gpu-parallelized molecular dynamics simulations to study trapped ions interacting with ultracold atoms.
- Mahmoud Ibrahim
Ph. D. StudentInterestsMahmoud is interested in computational and data science and its applications in physics and other disciplines of natural and social sciences.
- Daniel Julian
Undergrad StudentInterestMy research interests include applying machine learning techniques to AMO physics, such as predicting final states of reactive chemical collisions. For fun, I like to play the saxophone in the university big band and in a community band.
- Rian Koots
Ph.D. StudentInterestsRian is interested in using computational methods to study fundamental problems in physics and working on few-body dynamics.
- Zhongqi Liang
Ph.D. StudentInterestsI am interested in the mathematical structure of few body problems. Specifically, I try to introduce mathematical methods from other physics subfields, such as classical mechanics and condensed matter physics, into the realm of few-body physics. Outside of physics, I enjoy reading about human society and creating my own fictional universe. - Mateo Londoño Castellanos
Ph.D. StudentInterestsMateo is interested in studying the few-body mechanisms involved in chemical dynamics, specifically at ultracold temperatures. His interests also involve light-matter interaction, open quantum systems and the possible application of quantum matter in high-precision metrology. - Ruiren Shi
Ph.D. StudentIntererstsRuiren is interested in quantum chemistry and quantum computing. Currently he is mainly calculating the cross section spectrum of the collision between a stationary ion and a moving particle, and improving existing quantum algorithm (Geometric Quantum Adiabatic Evolution) so that it can be used to calculate reaction surfaces. - Jonathan Smucker
PostdocInterestsJonathan is interested in cold and ultra-cold chemistry and in the study of related chemical processes. He is currently studying the effects of the dipole-dipole interaction on pendular states in a lattice.
- Weiqi Wang
Ph.D. StudentInterestsWeiqi is interested in quantum chemistry and focus on the development of new tools to deal with complex chemical reaction networks. - Yu Wang
Master StudentInterestsYu is interested in few-body physics. Currently, he is working on refinement of classical trajectory simulation of 3-body recombination processes. His personal interest lies in reading and model building with preferred genres like science fiction and detective fiction. - Jesús Pérez Ríos
Assistant ProfessorInterestsFundamental atomic and molecular processes at the borderline of different disciplines like chemical physics, physics beyond the standard model and condensed matter.
