Barbara Capogrosso Sansone

Barbara Capogrosso Sansone is an Associate Professor of Physics at Clark University. She holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (2008) and a B.S. in Physics from the University of Torino (2000). Her research focuses on quantum phases of dipolar bosons in optical lattices, exploring topics such as supersolid phases, cavity-coupled systems, and topological order in ultracold atomic gases. She employs quantum Monte Carlo methods to investigate many-body phenomena in strongly interacting systems.

Her work examines phase transitions in dipolar boson configurations, including bilayer systems, twisted geometries, and cavity-mediated interactions. Recent studies address novel phases like pair-supersolidity, thermocrystallization, and quantum phases in twisted bilayers. She also investigates nonlocal topological signatures, such as worldline braiding properties, to characterize quantum phase transitions.

Her research has been presented at venues like the APS Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Meeting. While no specific grants or awards are listed in the provided materials, her extensive publication record reflects sustained contributions to the field of quantum many-body systems and ultracold matter.
