Zekai Chen earned his B.S degree in electronics engineering in Peking University in Beijing, China. During his undergraduate study he worked in a cold atom group in Peking University. When he came to Rochester, he first worked on quantum metrology in Prof. John Howell's group. Zekai joined Bigelow's trapping and cooling group in 2017. His research is focused on synthetic gauge potentials induced by the Raman process in an ultracold quantum gaseous system and imprinting topological defects such as skyrmions and knots in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate with the Raman process.
