Builds neutral-atom-array platforms coupled to optical cavities to explore nonlocal entanglement for modular fault-tolerant quantum computing and distributed quantum sensor networks; also works on quantum error correction and quantum foundations.

Observational astrophysicist studying the formation and evolution of stars and their planets, combining Kepler/K2, TESS, JWST, and Gaia data to detect young exoplanets and identify signatures of planetary engulfment by host stars.

Studies the interstellar and intergalactic medium and galaxy evolution via radio observations of neutral hydrogen and molecular gas.

Develops instrumentation for cosmic microwave background telescopes and radiometers, including work related to CMB-S4 and 21-cm cosmology experiments.

Observational astronomer studying galaxy evolution and the processes (feedback, galactic winds) that regulate star formation in massive galaxies, using UV-to-IR spectroscopy and SDSS data.

Astroparticle physicist working on IceCube and the HAWC gamma-ray observatory, developing detector instrumentation and analysis methods for very-high-energy astrophysics.

Atomic physicist known for spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) and its use in ultra-sensitive atomic (SERF-regime) magnetometers, as well as Rydberg-atom quantum information experiments.

Astrochemist studying the evolution of prebiotic molecules during star and planet formation, combining laboratory molecular spectroscopy and instrument development with radio and far-IR astronomical observations and astrochemical modeling.

Studies the evolution of galaxies and galaxy groups (gas content, Magellanic-type spirals, radio AGN, intergalactic medium) primarily through radio observations.

Develops multidimensional coherent spectroscopy methods, including label-free multidimensional optical imaging/contrast techniques applied to cancerous tissue and nanoscale heterostructures.
