AMO Theory Research
As a theoretical atomic, molecular and optical physicist, my research looks into the fundamental interactions between the microscopic constituents of the world around us. I am interested in a broad range of topics including few-body scattering and dynamics, Rydberg matter and systems, exotic phases of ultra-cold matter, and quantum transport to name a few.
