Biography
Nathan Welch is a Research Fellow in Quantum Technologies at the University of Nottingham. His research focus is the design and optimisation of experimental quantum systems, including magnetic fields, optics and atom-surface coupling. Part of his PhD research involved modelling and optimising complex multicomponent electromagnetic systems, which included integrating the optical and magnetic sensitivity of atomic gases across the classical and quantum regimes. His work also included analysing phenomena such as chaotic atom motion in laser beams and Casimir attraction between atoms and condensed matter surfaces, including electronic control chips. He is particularly interested in using this insight to improve on previous system design and allowing new physical paradigms to be explored and exploited in new industry capabilities and products.
