My research specialty is in theoretical atomic and molecular physics, with emphasis on electron correlations, Bose-Einstein Condensation, ultra-cold atomic collisions, and other nonperturbative interactions. Here is a pointer to some current and recent group members, and some of our work. Or you can turn in your vast spare time to our papers.  Here is a link to a discussion of our Fall 2000 prediction of an unusual class of long-range Rydberg molecules whose electronic density resembles a trilobite. 

I am now the most recent past Chair of JILA, as of January 1, 2007. 

 My faculty responsibilities include instructing eager young minds about the intricacies of our physical world, and also spending time working hard with my research group, uncovering the laws of nature.
