Andrew James Howard
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2019
BioAndrew J. Howard received his B.S. in Optics from the University of Rochester in 2019. During his time at Rochester, he served as a Research Assistant in the ultrafast group at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics. He was awarded the Charles L. Newton Prize for his work. In late 2019, Howard enrolled in the Applied Physics Ph.D. program at Stanford University and was named the Albion Walter Hewlett Fellow. Here he studies experimental strong-field physics and ultrafast laser-driven molecular dynamics. He currently specializes in 3D fragment-momentum imaging, in which the three-dimensional momentum of molecular fragments produced during the interaction between a laser and a molecule yields valuable information about femtosecond molecular processes and light-matter interactions.

Aharon Kapitulnik
Theodore and Sydney Rosenberg Professor of Applied Physics and Professor of Physics
BioAharon Kapitulnik is the Theodore and Sydney Rosenberg Professor in Applied Physics at the Departments of Applied Physics and Physics at Stanford University. His research focuses on experimental condensed matter physics, while opportunistically, also apply his methods to tabletop experimental studies of fundamental phenomena in physics. His recent studies cover a broad spectrum of phenomena associated with the behavior of correlated and disordered electron systems, particularly in reduced dimensions, and the development of effective instrumentation to detect subtle signatures of physical phenomena.
Among other recognitions, his activities earned him the Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship (1986-90), a Presidential Young Investigator Award (1987-92), a Sackler Scholar at Tel-Aviv University (2006), the Heike Kamerlingh Onnes Prize for Superconductivity Experiment (2009), a RTRA (Le Triangle de la Physique) Senior Chair (2010), and the Oliver Buckley Condensed Matter Prize of the American Physical Society (2015). Aharon Kapitulnik is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Kapitulnik holds a Ph.D. in Physics from Tel-Aviv University (1984). -

Benjamin Lev
Professor of Applied Physics and of Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsLevLab is a joint AMO & CM experimental group that explores the question: Can new classes of states and phases of quantum matter be created far away from equilibrium, and if so, what do we learn? We use our new technique, confocal cavity QED, to both engineer out-of-equilibrium quantum gases and 2D materials and to image and control their new properties.

Kaden Loring
Ph.D. Student in Applied Physics, admitted Autumn 2021
BioKaden Loring began his PhD in Applied Physics at Stanford University in September 2021. Loring's research specialization is laser-based diagnostics for fusion-relevant plasmas. Loring received his bachelor's degree from the University of Florida in May 2020 in Physics. He is passionate about research aimed at the development of nuclear fusion for energy. In his free-time, Loring enjoys spending time in nature whenever possible.
