Our group combines low-temperature physics with advanced nanofabrication and state-of-the art measurement techniques to explore a variety of physics. Roughly half of the group is focused on using cavity optomechanics to explore the quantum realm and produce new quantum technologies, and the other half on superfluids in restricted geometries (quasi-2D), but we also have many other projects including a superfluid gravitational wave/dark matter detector and advancing cryogenic techniques. Our students go on to exciting careers in quantum technology and top-notch post-docs. |
