Nathan Gemelke has been an experimental atomic physicist and Assistant Professor of physics at Pennsylvania State University since 2010. He obtained his Ph.D. from Stanford University and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Chicago, before joining Pennsylvania State University. His work centers on the use of laser-cooled atomic gases to study organizational principles of many-body physics in the quantum limit, analog models of fundamental particle physics, and novel effects in quantum and nonequilibrium statistics.

A Close Look at the Fermi-Hubbard Model

The engineered simplicity of a cold-atom system described by the 2D Fermi-Hubbard model allows for a precision test of the model’s equation of state. Read More »
