Reuben Wang

After completing his undergraduate studies in engineering at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, and in physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Reuben received his doctorate in physics from JILA and the University of Colorado Boulder. During his PhD, his research focused on ultracold dipolar collisions and their consequences on the collective dynamics of classical and quantum gases. Reuben has worked closely with experimental groups, where his work on modeling collision-induced relaxation allowed measurements of the scattering length between ultracold erbium atoms at Innsbruck. Applied to polar molecules, his work has aided in evaporative cooling studies to deep Fermi degeneracy with the NaK group at the Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics and led to an understanding of collisional spin-dephasing observed by the JILA KRb group. At ITAMP, his work continues to be focused on the interplay of internal and external atom/molecule degrees of freedom in the quantum collisional regime.
