Research Interests

My research interests concentrate on the manipulation of the internal and external degrees of freedom of atoms at the quantum level. This includes new laser cooling techniques for the preparation of atoms at temperatures in the micro-Kelvin range, the properties of quantum gases in lower dimensions, and the development of new devices, such as magnetic single-mode waveguides for matter waves (the analog of single-mode optical fibers for light) for precision measurements of fundamental constants. Just as the laser as a source of coherent light waves has led to groundbreaking precision measurements, the availability of cold atoms as matter waves with long coherence length allows us to put physical theories to ever more stringent tests.
