Classes: Spring 2007 How Things Work General Physics Laboratory 2 Other courses taught: Modern Physics, Modern Physics Lab, Experimental Solid State Physics, Kitchen-Table Physics, General Physics, General Physics Lab, How Things Work. Research Spring 2006 I was on Sabbatical leave at Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia, working with Prof. Peter Hannaford's research group. I investigated the magnetic fields produced by thin magnetic films, particularly the effect of undesired randomness in the magnetization. Some of this work is described in the preprint Effect of Magnetization Inhomogeneity on Magnetic Microtraps for Atoms. I do experiments on the quantum physics of very cold atomic gases.   Select from the list below for more information. Overview of cold atom physics and laser cooling Latest Results Publications

Antimatter & Helium Spectroscopy Previous work at Harvard University in collaboration with Prof. Gerald Gabrielse (1995-2001).
