Department(s)/lab(s): Chemistry | Backlund Lab @ UIUC
Summary:

Combines optical microscopy, quantum sensing, and magnetic resonance to develop single-molecule and super-resolution microscopy methods, including orientation-resolved imaging and metrology, spanning biophysics and condensed matter applications.

Techniques:
Department(s)/lab(s): Astronomy | Barger Group @ UWMadison
Summary:

Observational cosmologist studying distant galaxies and supermassive black holes across X-ray, optical, near-IR, submillimeter, and radio wavelengths, tracing star formation and accretion histories of the universe.

Department(s)/lab(s): Bioengineering | Bashir Lab @ UIUC
Summary:

Develops BioMEMS and nanopore-based biosensors, lab-on-chip devices, and micro/nano-fabricated platforms for pathogen and biomolecule detection and multiscale tissue engineering.

Techniques:
Department(s)/lab(s): Astronomy | Beatty Group @ UWMadison
Summary:

Observational exoplanet astronomer using ground- and space-based facilities (including HST and JWST) to characterize exoplanet atmospheres and compositions.

Techniques:
Department(s)/lab(s): Physics / Astronomy | Bechtol Group @ UWMadison
Summary:

Observational cosmologist working on the Dark Energy Survey and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory/LSST, using wide-field optical imaging to study dark energy, dark matter, and dwarf galaxies; involved in survey instrumentation and analysis pipelines.

Techniques:
Department(s)/lab(s): Astronomy | Becker Group @ UWMadison
Summary:

Studies planetary dynamics and exoplanetary system architectures, combining theoretical dynamical modeling with observational discovery of exoplanets; 2026 AAS DDA Vera Rubin Early Career Prize recipient.

Department(s)/lab(s): Astronomy | Benjamin Group @ UWMadison
Summary:

Studies the global structure of the Milky Way (bulge, bar, disk, spiral arms) using infrared and radio observations of stars and gas, and the evolution of galaxy groups via radio observations.

Department(s)/lab(s): Astronomy | Bershady Group @ UWMadison
Summary:

Builds astronomical spectroscopic instrumentation and studies galaxy structure, dynamics, and evolution via integral field spectroscopy (e.g., SDSS-IV MaNGA); leads WIYN telescope instrumentation efforts.

Department(s)/lab(s): Physics (Cavendish Laboratory) | VISION Lab @ Cambridge
Summary:

Bohndiek's VISION Lab, run jointly between the Cavendish Laboratory and the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, develops low-cost optical and photoacoustic imaging technologies to study the tumour microenvironment and vasculature, with a strong translational focus on early cancer detection (e.g. hyperspectral endoscopy for oesophageal cancer). The lab is part of a large interdisciplinary team and regularly recruits postdoctoral researchers.

Department(s)/lab(s): Bioengineering / Electrical and Computer Engineering | Biophotonics Imaging Laboratory @ UIUC
Summary:

Develops novel optical biomedical imaging technologies (OCT, nonlinear/multiphoton microscopy) for cancer detection, primary-care diagnostics, and neurophotonics, and translates them toward clinical and commercial application.
