Research statement


My research interests revolve around developing computational and theoretical methods to study three-body scattering
in cold and ultracold molecular and atomic systems. Three-body collisions are important to ultracold quantum gases
because they place a limit on the lifetime of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs – a state of matter where a large
fraction of the bosonic... more

Research topics

Development of theoretical/computational methods for three-body phenomena (thesis)
Loosely-bound molecules (Efimov states, universality) more
Control of atom/molecule interactions using laser light more
