Jeremy Armstrong

Dr. Jeremy Armstrong is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK). He earned his B.S. in Physics and Chemistry from Santa Clara University and his Ph.D. in Physics from Michigan State University, focusing on theoretical nuclear physics. His current research explores cold atomic systems, particularly dipolar molecules confined to layered geometries using the harmonic approximation.

Dr. Armstrong’s research investigates the anisotropic interactions of dipolar molecules in 2D/1D systems, focusing on binding properties, interlayer/intralayer dynamics, and quantum decoupling. His work spans topics like Bose-Einstein condensates, dipolar clusters, and quantum coherence in degenerate systems.

The 15 most recent publications highlight his expertise in dipolar systems, harmonic approximation modeling, and quantum many-body problems. Key subfields include 2D/1D dipolar interactions, bilayer configurations, and topological disjoint systems.

At UNK, he teaches algebra-based general physics and earth science. His prior teaching roles covered advanced topics such as thermodynamics, statistical physics, quantum mechanics, and nuclear physics at other institutions.
