For some nontechnical summaries of my research, I refer you to some recent press coverage.  In short, I have recently been working in the area of "quantum simulation," or how to engineer cold atom versions of other physical systems which may not be accessible in real life.  My most recent results have laid out schemes for

• A cold atom version of a spintronic transistor.
• A cold atom version of Zitterbewegung, the violent jittering motion of a relativistic electron, predicted by Schrödinger, but never experimentally observed.

I did my Ph.D. at Harvard, under the ever-inspiring Prof. Eric J. Heller.  My thesis was on low-energy scattering theory.

My undergraduate research was in nonlinear dynamics and chaos, at the University of Maryland, under Prof. Edward Ott.

I was born in Texas and grew up just outside of Washington, D.C.
