Dr Lucia Hackermüller, Assistant Professor (Lecturer in Physics) and Head of the group
Lucia started her experimental research career on interference of large molecules and quantum optics during her PhD study at the University of Vienna. She became a postdoctoral fellow at Johannes-Gutenberg-University in Mainz and the Quantum Many Body Systems Division at the Max-Planck Institute for Quantum Optics and later the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, Germany. Since the appointment to a permanent position at the University of Nottingham in 2009, Lucia has founded the Ultracold Mixtures group in the School of Physics and Astronomy. She is an expert within the field of ultracold atoms and molecules and related areas (condensed matter physics, solid state physics and quantum information).

Dr Jizhou Wu, Royal Society fellow
Jizhou has been performing research in Ultracold Molecules since his PhD studies in 2007 in the Laser Spectroscopy Institute, Shanxi University. His research was focussed on the production of caesium molecules via photoassociation (PA) technology. He developed methods of enhancing the detection sensitivity of trap loss spectroscopy, using which he was able to observe spectroscopy of the lowest vibrational energy level of a caesium molecule. He joined the Ultracold Mixture group in 2014 as a Postdoctoral Fellow.

PhD students
Pierre Jouve, PhD student
Pierre hold a master in Condensed Matter physics from the Joseph Fourier University of Grenoble, during his studies he worked in the MPQ-Garching within the group of Pr I.Bloch on blue-detuned molasses for cooling atoms, then in the Institut Neel of Grenoble with Pr B.Boulanger on the generation of triple photons in the non-linear optics group.
The main topics of his PhD work are cold atom mixtures (Li-Cs), the study of the BEC-BCS crossover (Li), the use of BEC to probe decoherence, and light-matter interface.
