معرفی
Professor Tanya Zelevinsky is a distinguished faculty member in the Department of Physics at Columbia University, where she has served since 2008. She established Columbia's first research program in modern atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, creating a significant experimental hub in Pupin Hall.
Her academic journey includes:
- Undergraduate degree from MIT
- Ph.D. from Harvard University
Professor Zelevinsky's research program centers on precision spectroscopy of cold molecules for fundamental physics investigations. Her group develops molecular lattice clocks, studies ultracold molecule photodissociation, and advances quantum state manipulation techniques to test the Standard Model of particle physics through tabletop-scale experiments, while also exploring applications in ultracold chemistry and quantum optics.
Her significant contributions have been recognized with:
- Fellowship in the American Physical Society (2018)
- APS Francis M. Pipkin Award for experimental precision measurement (2019)
Leading an active research group in Pupin Hall, Professor Zelevinsky secures competitive grants to support cutting-edge experimental work in AMO physics. Her laboratory provides training opportunities for graduate students interested in experimental precision measurement, quantum control of molecules, and fundamental physics tests, maintaining Columbia's position at the forefront of cold molecule research.
