معرفی
Dr. Burçin Bayram is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Miami University, specializing in experimental Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) Physics. She leads the Bayram Research Group, focusing on laser spectroscopy of diatomic molecules, quantum beat spectroscopy, and advanced physics education. Her research is supported by continuous NSF funding since 2013, and she has held prestigious roles like the 2018 Harrison-MacRae Lecturer. She joined Miami in 2002 after postdoctoral work at the University of Michigan and a PhD from Old Dominion University.
Education:
- PhD, Physics, Old Dominion University, 1998
- BSc, Physics, Middle East Technical University, Turkey, 1991
Research Interests: Her work explores coherent light-matter interactions using short laser pulses on atomic/molecular systems, molecular quantum optics, and time-resolved spectroscopy. She develops cost-effective educational experiments for advanced physics labs, including vibrational/rotational spectroscopy of diatomic molecules.
Grants & Awards:
- 2023 NSF Award ($289k) for molecular spectroscopy studies
- 2015 APS Woman Physicist of the Month
- Multiple Research Corporation Cottrell Awards
Advising & Students: She has mentored over 30 graduate and undergraduates, including recent recipients of Commendation in Undergraduate Research and NSF REU fellowships. Notable advisees include Md. Shakil Bin Kashem and Sanjib Thapa, who pursued PhDs at top institutions.
Labs & Collaborations: The Bayram Lab uses cutting-edge techniques like time-correlated single-photon counting and external cavity lasers. Collaborations include the SQuInT network and Miami’s Quantum Information Sciences Group.
