Summary
ÁùºÏ±¦µä the JT Endowed Professorship in Physics
Dr. CS Chen '64 (physics) and Rufina Chen established the JT Endowed Professorship in Physics out of an appreciation for the mentorship Dr. Vernon Frazier provided CS while he was a student at the University. Established: 2017. (College of Science)

Research Interests
Professor Weinstein's research group studies atomic and molecular physics using cryogenic buffer-gas cooling and cryogenic matrix isolation experiments. The group is currently focusing on the properties of atoms and molecules in solid cryogenic matrices, with an emphasis on electron spin coherence for quantum sensing, and nuclear spin coherence for fundamental physics.
