Kasevich and Marcus Receive Awards

Assistant Professor Mark Kasevich was recently selected for a Terman Fellowship. A leading experimental atomic physicist in his age group, Kasevich is also the recipient of a Sloan and two Young Investigator awards. He has developed novel techniques to manipulate atom deBroglie waves, and applied these techniques to the construction of high precision atom interferometer-based inertial sensors. Kasevich has also applied laser cooling techniques to produce sub microkelvin ensembles of atoms.

Assistant Professor Charles Marcus, a former recipient of Terman, Sloan, and Young Investigator awards, added an ASSU Teaching Award to his list of accolades this year. Marcus was selected by an ASSU committee, based on a survey of undergraduates throughout the University. Marcus was lauded for both his enthusiasm and excellent communication style. Marcus' research concerns the fabrication and low-temperature measurement of quantum dots and other mesoscopic systems.
