Graduate Student

Yingchao grew up in Qingdao, China. He went to Xian Jiaotong University and received Bachelor of Science degree there in 2016. During his undergraduate study, he studied low dimensional materials using optical techniques such as near field optical microscope. Now, he works on angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and tries to reveal the novel properties of quantum materials. Besides research, he also has many other hobbies including music, movies, Ping-pong, hiking and etc.. 

Wenjing grew up in Yangzhou, China and graduated with B.S. in Physics at Nanjing University in 2015. She joined the KM group in the summer of 2016. She is now focusing her research on photoemission spectroscopy. In her free time, she enjoys cooking and hiking.

Bin Wang grew up in Yellow Mountain in China. He pursued undergraduate studies at University of Science and Technology of China. While there, he performed theoretical research on spin transportation in Double-Quantum-Dot systems. After graduating in 2016 with a B.S. in physics with honors, he joined the KM group in the fall of 2016 to work on nanoimaging. Outside of science, Bin enjoys reading books, doing outdoor activities, cooking & baking.

Jeremy grew up in the St. Louis area and received his B.S. in Physics at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville in 2018. His undergraduate research with Edward Ackad used numerical models to study interactions of ultrafast EUV lasers with noble gas nanoclusters. He joined the KM Group in 2018 and has enjoyed working on the development and precise control of ultrafast VUV and EUV light sources for applications in atomic clocks, spintronics, imaging, and more.

Sinéad grew up in Aberdeen, Scotland.  She graduated from the University of St. Andrews with a first class honours MPhys in experimental physics in 2018.  As an undergraduate, she worked on projects in the fields of synthetic optics, cold atoms and Kerr lens modelocked laser design.  In 2017, she completed a semester exchange at the College of William & Mary where she worked on a project to design an ECDL laser.

Drew grew up in the Pacific Northwestern corner of Washington State. He graduated from Brown University in 2013 with a degree in chemical physics, and joined the CU Boulder physics Ph.D. program in the summer of 2016. In the interim three years, he worked as a research assistant at the Max-Born-Institut in Berlin, Germany and at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, India, and traveled extensively. Drew’s previous research topics have included plasmonic interferometry, ultrafast terahertz spectroscopy, electron bubbles in liquid helium and other topics.

Anya grew up in Maryland, and graduated from the University of Maryland with High Honors in Physics in 2020. As an undergraduate, she conducted research on the optical properties of noble-metal nanostructures, and also contributed to projects in plasma physics. Anya began her PhD studies in Physics at CU Boulder as an NSF graduate research fellow and joined the KM group in 2020. She was also awarded a Fulbright fellowship to conduct optics research at KU Leuven in Belgium, though she was not able to participate due to the pandemic.
