Michael Noel serves as the Marion Reilly Professor of Physics at Bryn Mawr College, where he has been a faculty member since 2000 after completing postdoctoral research at the University of Virginia under Professor Thomas F. Gallagher.
His academic background includes:
- B.S. from Whitworth College (1988)
- Ph.D. in Optics from the University of Rochester (1996), supervised by Professor Carlos R. Stroud, Jr., with dissertation research on "Atomic Electron Wave Packet Interference and Control"
Professor Noel's experimental research investigates ultracold Rydberg atoms to engineer "designer solids" exhibiting strong dipole-dipole interactions. These systems model spin glasses and crystals relevant to condensed matter physics, while exploring resonant energy transfer mechanisms with applications in quantum computing through entanglement generation. His methodology employs optical lattices, inhomogeneous fields, and localized excitations to manipulate many-body dynamics in amorphous atomic samples.
Current research is supported by the National Science Foundation (Collaborative Research: Quantum Dynamics and Control with Ultracold Rydberg Atoms #2011610).
