Fang
Eric grew up in Shanghai, China and received his B.S. in Physics and Computer Science at University of California, Los Angeles, during which he developed a generalized model for spin transport in magnetic materials. After joining the group of Dr. Henry Kapteyn and Dr. Margaret Murnane at JILA in CU Boulder, he began to study approaches to probing various magnetic structures and dynamics using tabletop high harmonic generation (HHG) and synchrotron laser systems. In his spare time, Eric likes playing badminton, video games, and spends loads of time in skiing during winter seasons.
Hettel
Will grew up in Half Moon Bay, California. While pursuing a B.S. in Physics at UC Santa Barbara, he began his optics career as an intern at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. There he studied high-temperature superconductors with optical pump-probe, synchrotron, and terahertz spectroscopy systems. After graduating in 2017, he developed phased laser arrays for the Breakthrough Starshot program and extensively traveled North America as a touring musician. Will started his Ph.D.
