Lauren defended her thesis titled “Topological excitations in a Bose gas & sexual harassment reported by undergraduate physicists” today to a bumper audience in Ithaca. And it rocked!
Dan defended this thesis titled “Engineered potentials in ultracold Bose-Einstein condensates” today. Way to go!
Group alumna Yu-Ju Lin visited from Feb. 10 to Feb. 14! In the key-picture you see Yu-Ju along with Lauren and Dina in the lab where Yu-Ju executed our fantastic experiments with synthetic magnetic fields and for the first time …

Citation: For innovative and pioneering work in quantum phenomena at the intersection of atomic and condensed matter physics, using quantum simulation with ultracold atoms, including the use of optical interactions to create artificial electromagnetic fields and spin-orbit coupling.
We are delighted and proud that Karina has been selected as a finalist for the 2013 DAMOP thesis prize! Karina (remotely) presented her thesis research in the special Prize Session at DAMOP this year.
Matthew Beeler —the first observer of a spin-Hall effect in a Bose-Einstein condensate— just moved on to a staff scientist position at the the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. Or we think he has, his work is classified.
