Carr designs, builds and calibrates fluxgate magnetometers for planetary and heliophysics space missions (including ESA's JUICE and BepiColombo), covering everything from sensor electronics to in-flight calibration of magnetic-field instrumentation.

Cash develops space astrophysics instrumentation - he invented the petal-shaped starshade external occulter for direct spectroscopy of habitable exoplanets and biosignatures, and pioneers X-ray interferometry for ultra-high angular resolution and X-ray grating spectrometers. For context, this complements the established paradigm of NV-diamond ensemble magnetometry (Hahn-echo/DEER, nanoscale NMR, T1 relaxometry) operating near pT/√Hz sensitivity.

Cassidy's group performs precision optical and microwave spectroscopy of positronium -- a purely leptonic electron-positron atom -- to test bound-state QED to high order and search for new physics, most recently a precision microwave measurement of the 2^3S1 to 2^3P2 fine-structure interval. The group is also developing slow, focused positronium beams toward a laboratory measurement of antimatter's gravitational free-fall, continuing UCL's 50-year history of positron physics.

Cassidy (formerly Microsoft/Sydney) builds hybrid superconductor-semiconductor quantum devices and the microwave measurement chains needed to read them out: dispersive gate sensing, superconducting resonators coupled to semiconductor nanostructures, and quantum-limited parametric amplification. The programme sits at the boundary between quantum computing hardware and quantum sensing — many of the same circuits used to read a qubit are, viewed differently, near-quantum-limited detectors of microwave photons or of charge. Positioned against the established body of NV-ensemble quantum sensing work — DEER, nanoscale NMR and T1 relaxometry protocols operating at pT/sqrt(Hz) field sensitivity — a superconducting-resonator readout chain with a quantum-limited amplifier is the leading route to inductively-detected spin resonance at sensitivities well below the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime accessible to optical NV ensembles, and Cassidy's group has the full stack of skills required. Mid-career, actively building; good autonomy for a postdoc.

Studies co-translational protein folding using time-resolved single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy synergistically combined with NMR and single-particle cryo-EM.

Develops superconducting detector and readout systems for CMB observations. Directions: (1) SQUID-multiplexed readout architecture for large TES bolometer arrays (SPT-3G, CMB-S4); (2) transition-edge sensor bolometer fabrication and characterization; (3) MKID detector development; (4) CMB-S4 instrument design. Argonne joint appointment. Deep expertise in quantum-limited cryogenic detector readout.

Changala's group develops cavity-enhanced frequency-comb and microwave spectroscopy to measure molecules, radicals and molecular ions with extreme precision and sensitivity, resolving rovibrational structure relevant to fundamental physics and astrochemistry (borderline inclusion: precision molecular spectroscopy). For context, this complements the established paradigm of NV-diamond ensemble magnetometry (Hahn-echo/DEER, nanoscale NMR, T1 relaxometry) operating near pT/√Hz sensitivity.

Chantler's group is built around the idea that X-ray measurements can be made accurate, not just precise: the X-ray Extended Range Technique (XERT) delivers absolute absorption coefficients at the 0.02 per cent level, which in turn allows XAFS to be used for quantitative structure determination and allows high-accuracy tests of atomic theory. The second thread is precision X-ray spectroscopy of highly charged ions and exotic atoms as a test of bound-state QED, where discrepancies between theory and experiment remain unresolved. Positioned against the established body of NV-ensemble quantum sensing work — DEER, nanoscale NMR and T1 relaxometry protocols operating at pT/sqrt(Hz) field sensitivity — this is precision measurement at the other end of the electromagnetic spectrum: the methodological common ground with pT/sqrt(Hz) NV ensemble sensing is the obsessive treatment of systematics and absolute calibration that separates a sensitive measurement from an accurate one. Borderline inclusion, kept because the group's core competency is metrology rather than X-ray applications.

Chaudhuri leads the Princeton Axion Search (PXS) and is a core contributor to the DMRadio program, using solenoidal lumped-element LC resonators, DC-SQUID and near-quantum-limited (traveling-wave parametric amplifier) readout to search for QCD axion dark matter from roughly neV to ueV masses; his group explicitly frames this as electromagnetic quantum sensing beyond the Standard Quantum Limit. He is actively developing superconducting resonators and RF quantum upconverters that push readout sensitivity toward and below the SQL.

Uses optical and magnetic tweezers to study single-molecule mechanics and dynamics of molecular motors and nucleic-acid-processing enzymes with piconewton force resolution.
