Aaron Bondy is a theoretical physicist at Drake University in Iowa, where he works as a postdoctoral researcher in Klaus Bartschat’s group. He earned his PhD from the University of Windsor in Canada under the supervision of Gordon Drake. His current work focuses on laser–atom interactions, including at ultrafast (attosecond) timescales, and on electron–atom collisions. He is also interested in atomic structure, having carried out high‑precision calculations that have been compared with experiments to stringently test QED—and to potentially reveal new physics beyond the standard model of particle physics.
