G. Edward Marti

University of California, Berkeley


Area of Study: Physics; Atomic Physics

Fellowship Years: 2007 - present

Profile: Edward, 23, is working to create a magnetic ring trap for "ultracold" atoms. His research focuses on measuring rotations, leading to a better understanding of how to perform precise measurements with ultracold atoms. One application might be better guidance systems for submarines and satellites. His research involves cooling atoms to extremely low temperatures -- within one millionth of a degree from absolute zero.

The Los Angeles native enjoys digital photography and traveling, and is currently studying in Paris as part of his UC graduate program. Edward graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a bachelor's degree in Physics and Mathematics.
