Projects available.

Optical Pattern Generation with a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD)

This experimental project explores how to use a DMD to create high-resolution optical patterns for cold-atom experiments. Tasks include learning DMD control software, generating static and dynamic light patterns, characterizing optical intensity distributions, optimizing pattern contrast, and supporting integration of the DMD into the experimental setup.

Magnetic Field Stabilization for cold atoms experiements

This project aims to design a feedback control to stabilize the magnetic fields generated by the coils used for trapping and controlling the interactions of ultracold atoms. Tasks include characterizing field noise, implementing a PID loop using sensors and current drivers, optimizing coil geometries and electronic filtering, evaluating stability over time, and comparing performance against experimental requirements.

Polarizability of Dysprosium and Bilayer systems (Theory)

This project focuses on computing the atomic polarizability of Dysprosium using theoretical models and available computational tools. Tasks include implementing polarizability calculations, analyzing dipolar interaction strengths, modeling bilayer geometries and studying collective modes.

Numerical Tools for Simulation of dipolar Bosonic and Fermionic systems (Theory)

This project focuses on developing and applying numerical methods to simulate the equations governing  a many-body system (i.e. Gross–Pitaevskii equation). Tasks include implementing time-evolution algorithms, testing grid and numerical solvers, benchmarking against known analytical limits, exploring dynamical regimes for Bose and Fermi gases, and benchmarking simulations with experimental observations.
