Ooi

I work on the XUV frequency comb project focused on building a Th229 nuclear clock. A nuclear clock has potential to be a new platform for portable optical clocks and also to measure time variation of fundamental constants. I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Alberta.

Burton

Emma is originally from Portland, Oregon, and earned her bachelor’s degree from Goshen College in 2022. As an undergraduate, she conducted research on energy transport properties in perovskite materials at Worcester Polytechnic Institute under the mentorship of Dr. Lyubov Titova. She joined the KM Group in 2023, where her current work focuses on the development of high-power vacuum ultraviolet lasers for applications in precision metrology and spectroscopy.

Seifert

Gabi grew up in Minnesota, and graduated summa cum laude in 2023 from Scripps College, where she studied physics and German. As an undergraduate, she worked in a whole variety of areas of physics—including tracking motility patterns of single-celled organism Stentor coeruleus during regeneration and using models of E. coli networks to predict functions as complex as video before building an optical tweezers setup her senior year and accidentally falling in love with optics.

Wagner

Cameron joined the group in the spring of 2024 after graduating from Stanford University. There he worked with Prof. Monika Schleier-Smith to create arbitrary 2D optical potentials as well as arrays of blue detuned bottle beams using a spatial light modulator. Currently, he is working with strontium to build a continuous-wave superradiant laser.
