did his undergraduate work at the university of Erlangen and in Vladan Vuletić’s group at MIT. Valentin started his PhD work with us in April 2020. For his doctoral work in the strontium lab, Valentin received a fellowship from the Hector Fellow Academy.

did his undergraduate work at the university of Würzburg. Felix started his PhD work with us in October 2022.

did his undergraduate work at TU Munich. Andreas started his Masters thesis work with us in August 2022.

did his undergraduate work at Bilkent University, Ankara. Ömer started his Masters thesis work with us in October 2022.

did his undergraduate work at University of Hull, England. Andrew started his Masters thesis work with us in October 2022.

did his PhD work at the Weizmann Institute of Science, with Ofer Firstenberg and Nir Davidson, developing novel approaches for improved inertial sensing with light-pulse atom-interferometers. Dimitry joined our team in January 2021.

did his PhD in the group of Prof. Arno Rauschenbeutel at the Humboldt University of Berlin, where he worked with cold atoms that are trapped in the evanescent field around an optical nanofiber. Sebastian joined our team in November 2022.

started the strontium lab in April 2015. Here, he combines his experience with strontium atomic clocks as a PhD student (in Jun Ye’s group at JILA) with high-resolution imaging techniques for fermions developed as a postdoc in Markus Greiner’s group at Harvard.

is the director of the Quantum Many Body Physics division at the Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics and leads the Quantum Optics Group in the Physics Department at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.
Interns
We often host interns who work on technical projects. Many of these interns stay on to do a Bachelors or Masters thesis once they know their way around the lab. We are lucky to have these talented students working with us:
