Welcome to Rémy, Julius and Marco

At the beginning of March, we welcomed three Masters’ interns to the 3 experimental labs! Rémy Dolbeault, Julius Franze and Marco Lucibello will be working in the Erbium, Er-Dy and T-REQS labs respectively for the next few months.

Rémy was born the 19th of March 2001 in Paris, and went to Lyon for his studies. He discovered the cold atom field thanks to a talk given at the school which completely caught his attention. He then went to Florence, Italy to do a 1st Master internship on vortices in the BEC-BCS crossover in Li-6, which confirmed his interest in this field of Physics. For the 2nd Master’s intership, he will spend five months in the Erbium Lab working on superradiance and superresolution.

Julius born on the 10th of January 2003 in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany. He did his Bachelors at Leipzig University with a focus on Plasma physics, and will now work with the Erbium-Dysprosium Lab for his internship.

Marco was born on October 13, 2001, and graduated in Physics in 2023 in Roma Tre University, with a thesis on “Entanglement and GHZ states.” He is currently enrolled at Roma Tre University for his Master’s degree, and will be working with the T-REQS Lab for his internship.

Welcome to the group Rémy, Julius and Marco!🥳

Welcome to Gerard

by

Welcome to Gerard Solà Berga, who as of March 2025 has joined the Er-Dy lab as a PhD student! Gerard joins us from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Munich, where he worked on implementing a scheme for global addressing of Strontium atoms at the 698nm clock transition for his Master thesis.

Goodbye to Felix

by

We said adieu to our Masters Intern, Felix Borchers, at the end of February! Felix joined the T-REQS lab for 5 months back in October 2024 from ETH Zurich, where he is currently in the third semester of his Masters in Physics. Good luck with the rest of your MSc., Felix – it was a pleasure having you here with us!

Goodbye to Tom Bland

by

We said goodbye to Postdoc Thomas Bland in December 2024! Dr. Bland joined the Ferlaino Group in December 2020 as one of the first members of the theory team. Tom was at the forefront of demystifying two-dimensional supersolidity, and we thank him for leading the theory team for four glorious years! Tom has now moved back to the UK and will soon start a new position as a senior researcher in the group of Stephanie M. Reimann at Lund University. Best of luck at your new position, Tom!

 

Goodbye to Silvia

by

We bade farewell to the Theory group‘s visiting PhD student Silvia Trabucco on the 21st of October, 2024! Silvia joined us in the first week of September from Gran Sasso Science Institute in L’Aquila, Italy, to work with our PhD student, Elena Poli, on an already successful collaboration regarding vortices in a dipolar supersolid and their connection to glitches in neutron stars.

It was a pleasure to have you join us, Silvia, and we wish you the best with the rest of your PhD back in Gran Sasso!
