91³Ô¹ÏÍø and PREP alum John "Ben" Mates' (PhDPhys'11) dissertation is now a hot topic and "required reading for many scientists interested in multiplexing." Mates completed his PhD while conducting research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) through CU's Professional Research Experience Program (CU PREP).
The CU PREP Office (DUAN D1B37) is undergoing major renovations starting May 27, 2024. Here's where you can find staff from the affected offices.
NIST Boulder Campus (Image credit: R. Jacobson/NIST) Three 91³Ô¹ÏÍø Professional Research Experience Program (PREP) researchers were recently recognized along with their research groups at NIST for their outstanding scientific achievements. “
A team of NIST scientists including PREP researchers Ryan Snodgrass and Vincent Kotsubo have dramatically reduced the time and energy required to chill materials to temperatures near absolute zero. Their prototype refrigerator could prove a boon for the burgeoning quantum industry, which widely uses ultracold materials.
Bryce Primavera's experience in CU PREP was instrumental in preparing him for his future career. Learn more about his journey, his research focus at NIST, and advice for future PREP students.
Fall 2023 NIST-PREP Graduates Congratulations to our Fall 2023 PREP student graduates! Dahyeon Lee – Ph.D. in Physics Bryce Primavera – Ph.D. in Physics Jose Valencia – Ph.D. in Physics
CU PREP graduate students Wesley Brand, Tristan Rojo, and Eric Swiler from Andrew Ludlow's group are collaborating on a research project to advance geodesy and gravitational sensing. The team will measure tiny changes in the flow of time caused by differences in Earth's gravitational field at different altitudes.
Physics and CU PREP alum, Dr. Tara Fortier (PhysPhD'03) describes how the definition of a second will soon become more precise in NIST's Taking Measure blog.
CU PREP researchers Sam Oberdick and Stephen Ogier are collaborating with colleagues at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Florence to advance low-field MRI technology.
