I teach graduate-level electromagnetism and undergraduate intro-level physics, and an advanced lab on lasers and optics for seniors and grad students. In my research lab we pursue three directions:
1) We investigate dynamics of ultracold (microKelvin!) atoms organized in “optical lattices” by lasers, for applications in nanolithography and quantum computing.
2) We investigate optical sensing of turbid (i.e., highly scattering) media for bio and environmental sensing.
3) We have a growing interest in electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and absorption (EIA), for application in ultra-sensitive magnetometry.
In my plentiful free time, I enjoy playing cricket with my 6 year old, and racquetball and badminton with my 15 year old.
