We said goodbye to Academy Scientist Andrea Di Carli at the end of October 2024! Dr. Di Carli joined the Ferlaino Group from the University of Strathclyde in March 2023, and he has now moved into an industry position in Munich. Best of luck at your new position, Andrea!
We bade farewell to the Theory group‘s visiting PhD student Silvia Trabucco on the 21st of October, 2024! Silvia joined us in the first week of September from Gran Sasso Science Institute in L’Aquila, Italy, to work with our PhD student, Elena Poli, on an already successful collaboration regarding vortices in a dipolar supersolid and their connection to glitches in neutron stars.
It was a pleasure to have you join us, Silvia, and we wish you the best with the rest of your PhD back in Gran Sasso!
Felix Borchers joins us in the T-REQS lab for 5 months as a Masters Intern! Felix is originally from Bonn, Germany and in 2023 he completed his Bachelors in Heidelberg with a thesis on ‘Simulating Absorption Imaging of Ultracold Fermi Gases’. He is currently in the third semester of his Masters in Physics at ETH Zurich. Welcome to the group, Felix!
At the beginning of October, Arina Tashchilina joined our team as a Post-Doc in the T-REQS lab. Arina joins us from the University of Alberta where she was a postdoctoral fellow for three and a half years under the supervision of Prof. Lindsay LeBlanc. Welcome to Innsbruck, Arina!
On the 4th of October, we said goodbye to the Theory group‘s visiting PhD student Tanausú Hernández Yanes! Tana joined us almost a year ago from the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFPAN), where he obtained the scholarship NAWA PRELUDIUM BIS 1 from the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange to work with us.
During his visit, Tana worked on many projects such as investigating the expansion of a dipolar gas on the lattice alongside our longtime collaborator Prof. Luca Barbiero. Tana also completed his PhD thesis during his time with our group – good luck with your defense and we wish you the best in the next stage of your career, Tana!
We said goodbye to Antonio Ortu at the end of July 2024. Dr. Ortu joined the T-REQS lab as a Post-doc in May 2022, and has now moved to Copenhagen for a scientific staff position. Good luck at your new position, Antonio!
