As a main drive of our current research push, we are building an apparatus at University of San Diego that will be capable of reaching temperatures of 100 nK, or 100 billionth of a degree above absolute zero. We plan to use this apparatus to investigate hydrodynamics in quasi-1D and 2D systems. The majority of students who engage with Dr. Mossman's research work on projects connected to this lab.

This project is sponsored by NSF under the MPS LEAPS program.

Utilizing the experimental platform located on the International Space Station, we collaborate with researchers from Washington State University, University of Colorado (Boulder), and Jet Propulsion Laboratory to investigate few-body physics in microgravity environments. One undergraduate and one postbac per year engage with Dr. Mossman on this research program.

This project is sponsored by NASA.

Cloud-based quantum systems have become more and more popular in recent years with the intent to make quantum accessible to more people around the world. One of these systems, hosted by Infleqtion, is an array of apparatuses capable of creating Bose-Einstein condensates. Our goal with this project is to explore the possibilities of using these systems for undergraduate research, teaching, and learning. 1-2 undergraduate students can work on this project.

This project is sponsored by RCSA under the Cottrell Scholars Program.

This program encourages and provides opportunities for students to build their physics identity through professional development interactive events, networking opportunities with professionals in physics and biophysics, social physics book club discussions, coffee hours, and outreach efforts. Students have the opportunity to engage with mentors outside of the university, earn a stipend, and spend up to $500/year on conference related fees. 

This program is sponsored by the Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professorship under Dr. Mossman.
