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

Undergraduate Summer Research Symposium
Held every September, this features the work that students have carried out during the summer, both at Holy Cross and elsewhere. Click the link above for photos and abstracts from previous years' research.


Society of Physics Students
If you like physics, join in the activities with the SPS here at Holy Cross!
Also learn about research, scholarship and career opportunities and much more.
