Summary of research at Yale: I work with microscale and nanoscale, levitated objects to investigate fundamental physics. In my Ph.D., I used electric fields to levitate nanoscale silica spheres and developed a platform for testing quantum mechanics on the macroscopic scale. In particular, I made preliminary measurements to bound the force noise generated by spontaneous collapse models and demonstrated control over a system of two coupled, levitated nanospheres. At Yale, I shifted to a new experimental system and area of investigation. I worked with intense lasers to levitate microscale spheres which are highly sensitive to impulse forces. The aim is to directly measure the small momentum recoils due to events such as alpha particle decay or dark matter collisions.
