Dr. Matthew Norcia, former postdoc in the Er-Dy LAB, wins IUPAP Early Career Scientist Prize in AMO Physics!
Congratulations to former postdoc in the Er-Dy LAB, Dr. Matthew Norcia, who was awarded the IUPAP Early Career Scientist Prize In Atomic, Molecular And Optical Physics 2024. Dr. Norcia was presented this award “for his seminal contributions to cavity-QED, optical tweezers, and dipolar quantum gases, specifically, the realization of an optical tweezer clock and of two dimensional supersolids in dipolar quantum gases”.
Arfor and Elena win the DK ALM Science Slam 2024!
Congratulations to Arfor and Elena who, along with Alberto from the Grimm group, were crowned the winners of the DK ALM Science Slam 2024! In a 6-minute skit entitled “Theoretical Dreams, Experimental Realities: How to combine them?”, they showed how experimentalists and theorists work together to make new scientific discoveries! 🔬⚛️
DK-ALM (Doctoral Programme (Doktoratskolleg) Atoms, Light, and Molecules) is a collaborative programme funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) that provides research and training for excellent national and international students. The 2024 Science Slam took place in front of a sold-out crowd at Treibhaus and was hosted by Bernhard Weingartner, a science slam professional.
Welcome to Clément
Welcome to Clément Caille, who is joining the ERBIUM DYSPROSIUM lab for his Masters’ internship. Clément is pursuing a Masters at ENS – Paris Saclay. He will join us for 4 months implementing optical lattices for our Quantum Gas Microscope.
2024 PhD Openings!
We are happy to announce that our dipolar quantum gas group has two PhD positions open for 2024/2025! For more information, see the open positions page.
