Donatella Cassettari

Donatella Cassettari is a Lecturer in Physics at the University of St Andrews. Her expertise focuses on Bose-Einstein condensation in atomic gases and applications in quantum information processing. Research explores ultracold atomic systems as platforms for studying quantum mechanics and developing atomtronic devices.

Key research areas:

• Holographic optical traps for ultracold atoms
• Quantum device engineering (atomtronics)
• High-precision magnetic resonance spectroscopy
• Quantum sensor development

Cassettari's work advances instrumentation for quantum manipulation, including high-sensitivity EPR measurements and holographic techniques for atom trapping. She teaches quantum phenomena, atomic physics, and quantum mechanics courses while coordinating final-year research projects.
