Experimental quantum physicist interested in semiconductors, atoms, photonics and microwaves. Based at Durham University, UK. Also a fan of running and cycling. (He/him)
I’m recruiting my first PhD student! If you’re interested is solid-state quantum optics or know someone who is then let me know!
In this project we are setting up a new activity to look at strongly interacting Rydberg exciton polaritons.

Ultracold this Christmas!
We got our new cryostat up and running this week, and managed to reach 300 mK for the first time in our lab!

💡 Check out our new paper on microwave-optical spectroscopy of Rydberg excitons in the ultrastrong driving regime!
Due to the dipole moment associated with Rydberg states the coupling strength can be larger than the driving frequency!

Got a new cryostat installed in the lab this week. As well as being shiny and looking nice it should be able to reach 300 mK!
