Graduate Student

Ting You joined the Regal-Kaufman cryo-lab after completing his undergrad studies at the National University of Singapore. His love for atomic physics developed after spending a year in the group of Professor Christian Kurtsiefer. After learning the ropes of AMO physics experiments, he joined the group of Assistant Professor Travis Nicholson. For his honors project, Ting You helped to build the first Magneto-optical trap of Indium. Ting You will now help to construct a cryogenic Rydberg atom array experiment, exploring new physics with excitement.

Thi Hoang obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Middlebury College in 2021. She is a graduate student from Vietnam pursuing experimental AMO physics. In her previous research, she worked on Doppler-free spectroscopy with cold rubidium atoms in a magneto-optical trap, investigating quantum optical effects at low temperature. Her current interest includes optically controlled quantum dot qubits and optical microcavities. 

Oliver grew up in Shanghai, China. He attended Indian Springs High School in Birmingham, Alabama, where he played on the basketball team. He went on to study Physics and Mathematics at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is interested in device characterization / metrology using extreme ultraviolet light and currently works on the EUV Reflectometer project. Outside of physics, Oliver plays basketball avidly and snowboards during the season.

I work on the KRb experiment, exploring many-body physics with ultracold polar molecules. I received my undergraduate degree in physics from Princeton University and studied condensed matter problems in the Yazdani and the Houck labs.
