Biography
- 2005-2009: PhD. Imperial College, London. Manipulation of Ca+ ions in Penning Traps.
- 2001-2005: MPhys. Oxford University.
Role
I am working in the team dedicated to performing Cavity-QED experiments with individual laser cooled trapped ions.
Research
In our Cavity-QED experiments we aim to make things as theoretically simple as possible:
- Single atomic particles.
- Single photons.
- Single modes of the electromagnetic field.
It seems however that theoretical simplicity and experimental simplicity do not commute.
