Two for two now, set up a diode with a RedWave controller this time!!
Super excited to be building up a laser system ‘by hand’ with these different devices!

🔬 New toy in the lab: just set up an Eagleyard laser diode to trap some spicy lithium atoms. First light + smooth threshold = good vibes!

Just a shot of Glasgow being amazing! 🤩 Felt a little blessed to be living here

Back in London and enjoying time off with some coffee in the garden ☕️🌦️

After my PhD, I joined a quantum startup- grateful for the opportunity to involved in the nascent quantum industry.
But my love for ultracold atoms couldn’t be quenched!
Will return to academia to once again create cool physics in the lab!

Excited for what’s next!

Recently went to Portland, Oregon and paid a visit to @powells.bsky.social. It’s an amazing place, an entire city block of books! Spent 4 hours and bought three books 😆

Nature lover or outlaw?

Stumbled upon one of (many) my favourite pictures from my PhD was when our atomic gas reorganised itself into what looked like modern art!

Picked this up randomly in a train station bookshop. Supposedly there is resurgence in popularity..
Can see why, pretty much read it in one sitting! Amazing read, existential in the most literal sense!
The book cover’s great too
