Dr. Purdy is interested in harnessing the quantum effects intrinsic in the mechanical interaction of light with macroscopic mechanical resonators to improve measurement and metrology. Previously, Dr. Purdy worked as a physicist in the Quantum Optics Group, Quantum Measurement Division, PML at NIST. Before joining NIST, Dr. Purdy has worked on a wide variety of optomechanical systems as a postdoctoral researcher at JILA and in his graduate work at UC Berkeley.

W. Vincent Liu

Wensheng Vincent Liu received his B.S. and his M.S. in Physics from Jilin University and Beijing Normal University in China, respectively. He then obtained his Ph.D., also in Physics, from the University of Texas at Austin. He finally joined the Physics Department of the University of Pittsburgh in 2004. Throughout his career, he has received several awards. He is a member of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) - China at the Chinese Academy of Sciences where he sits on the National Advisory Board and has been involved in numerous research programs at the KITP as either a participant, fellow, or scientist.

Olexandr Isayev

The Isayev lab works at the interface of theoretical chemistry, pharmaceutical sciences and computer science. In particular, we are using molecular simulations and artificial intelligence (AI) to solve hard problems in chemistry. We are working towards the acceleration of molecular discovery by the combination of AI, informatics and high-throughput quantum chemistry. We also focus on both generative and predictive ML models for chemical and biological data. Details on specific projects can be found below.
