Dr. Paul Griffin

Research Interests

Quick Bio:

I graduated with a BSc. in Applied Physics from the University of Limerick, in Ireland. My PhD was in the group of Charles Adams at Durham University where I studied laser cooling of atoms and optical dipole traps. Following from this I moved to Georgia Institute of Technology to join Mike Chapman's group to undertake research in coherent manipulation of Bose-Einstein condensates and the development of a laser cooled ion-trap for cavity QED experiments.

My research interests are experimental investigations of quantum coherence, quantum information processing, quantum simulators and atom interferometry.
