Bradley R. Slezak

Bradley R. Slezak is a Part-Time Lecturer in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Pittsburgh, affiliated with the Dietrich School. His research focuses on quantum mechanical behavior in macroscopic systems, specifically creating non-classical states of motion in diamagnetic particles trapped in ultra-high vacuum environments. He has contributed to the development of feedback cooling techniques using laser-induced radiation pressure damping.

Education: M.S. and PhD in Physics (advisor: Wolfgang J. Choyke). Co-advised by Dr. Brian D'Urso on his dissertation work. Research emphasizes the intersection of quantum mechanics and gravitational interactions in mechanical systems.

Advising: Collaborated on graduate student research through co-advising roles. No specific grants or labs are explicitly mentioned, though his work aligns with the department's condensed matter and quantum physics initiatives.
