Roy Ready

Roy Ready is a Postdoctoral Researcher (Research Fellow) in the Department of Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), working under Dr. Andrew Jayich on trapped ion systems with a focus on tests of fundamental symmetries and precision laser spectroscopy.

He earned his Ph.D. from Michigan State University under Dr. Jaideep Singh, where he developed the Ra EDM experiment trapping pear-shaped radium nuclei to measure permanent atomic electric dipole moments.

Ready's research spans fundamental symmetry tests, precision spectroscopy, and experimental techniques for electric dipole moment measurements, including molecular ion EDM development to explore matter-antimatter imbalance and cryogenic ion trap scalability. His work bridges atomic, nuclear, and molecular physics with radioactive isotopes.

Analysis of his recent publications shows concentrated research on radium isotopes through laser spectroscopy, ion trapping, and state lifetime measurements, advancing precision tests of the Standard Model in particle physics.

Roy actively collaborates within UCSB's trapped ion laboratory on cryogenic 3D-printed ion traps and atomic oven development for next-generation symmetry experiments.
