Data-driven analysis of mitotic spindles
(2014-02-25)
We have developed a method for automatic identification and tracing of microtubules in three dimensional electron tomography datasets. Additionally, we have developed a number of statistical techniques for working with ...
Coherent scattering in two dimensions: graphene and quantum corrals
(2014-02-25)
Two dimensional electronic materials provide a vibrant area for applying basic quantum mechanics and scattering theory. In quantum corrals, multiple scattering leads to resonances closely approximating eigenstates of an ...
Aspects of Symmetry in de Sitter Space
(2014-06-06)
We study various aspects of symmetry in four-dimensional de Sitter space (dS$_4$).
Coherent control of diamond defects for quantum information science and quantum sensing
(2014-06-06)
Quantum mechanics, arguably one of the greatest achievements of modern physics, has not only fundamentally changed our understanding of nature but is also taking an ever increasing role in engineering. Today, the control ...
Low Dimensional Carbon Electronics
(2014-06-06)
This thesis covers several different experiments that comprised my graduate career. The main focus of these experiments was the use of carbon as an electronic material and a steady evolution of fabrication recipes that ...
Diamond platforms for nanoscale photonics and metrology
(2014-06-06)
Observing and controlling solid state quantum systems is an area of intense research in quantum science today. Such systems offer the natural advantage of being bound into a solid device, eliminating the need for laser ...
Site-Resolved Imaging with the Fermi Gas Microscope
(2014-06-06)
The recent development of quantum gas microscopy for bosonic rubidium atoms trapped in optical lattices has made it possible to study local structure and correlations in quantum many-body systems.
Light-Shell Theory Foundations
(2014-06-06)
We study the motivation and groundwork for the construction of a Light-Shell Effective Theory, an effective field theory for describing the matter emerging from high-energy collisions and the accompanying radiation. We ...
Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy of Topological Insulators and Cuprate Superconductors
(2014-06-06)
Over the past twenty-five years, condensed matter physics has been developing materials with novel electronic characteristics for a wide range of future applications. Two research directions have shown particular promise: ...
A New Limit on the Electron Electric Dipole Moment: Beam Production, Data Interpretation, and Systematics
(2014-06-06)
The charge distribution associated with an electron has surprising implications for a number of outstanding mysteries in physics. Why is the universe made out of matter versus anti-matter, instead of both equally? What ...
