Hello Hello Hello!
I’m a fourth-year Physics Ph.D. student at Purdue University working with Dr. Jonathan Hood, and my work focuses on exploring the behavior of matter at extremely low temperatures. In our lab, we use lasers to trap and cool lithium (Li) and cesium (Cs) atoms to temperatures near absolute zero. By doing so, we can control these atoms with extraordinary precision.
Our next step is to combine these cooled atoms to form LiCs molecules, which naturally arrange themselves into orderly arrays. These molecular arrays are fascinating because they possess large dipole moments—a property that makes them especially useful for several cutting-edge applications:
• Quantum Chemistry: Unraveling the quantum-level details of chemical reactions and interactions.
• Quantum Simulations: Creating controlled systems to mimic and study complex quantum phenomena that are difficult to observe directly.
• Quantum Computing: Laying the groundwork for new computing technologies that leverage quantum mechanics for unprecedented processing power.
This research stands at the frontier of modern physics, where tiny, meticulously controlled particles can unlock big technological advances. For more details, please visit my research group’s website under the contact section.
I have summarized my projects and publications, along with all the conferences that I have participated in, on this website. You can also find blogs and poetry under philosophy, which I do in my free time!
