Graduate Student Researcher
University of California, Merced
03.2021 - 05.2023
- We studied the many-body ground states of binary atomic boson-boson and fermion-fermion mixtures confined in one-dimensional box potentials and worked with the collaborator on few-body ground states to integrate the results.
- We studied the structures of binary atomic boson-fermion mixtures confined in one-dimensional box potentials to analyze the interface properties of the components.
- Introduced spatially inhomogeneous interactions in atomic Fermi superfluid to study the analogues of proximity effect in superconductors and spatial Kibble-Zurek mechanism in a unified theoretical framework.
- Interpreted and analyzed research data to draw conclusions on outcomes.
