Dr. Kunal Das, Assistant Professor
Dr. Das' research is at the interface of theoretical condensed matter physics and atomic, molecular and optical physics, in the mesoscopic regime where both classical and quantum effects are manifest. Current topics of interest are coherent transport in nanostructures, adiabatic pumping of spin and charge, spin entanglement for quantum computation, cold atoms in optical lattices and solid state analogies, and methods for detecting aerosols and microbes. He also has continuing research interests in Bose-Einstein Condensation, atoms in quasi-one-dimensional waveguides and variational solutions of quantum systems. He encourages students with good mathematical or computer skills to work with him on research projects."

Dr. Quamrul Haider, Chair, Professor:
Dr. Haider is interested in studying nuclear reactions, particularly fusion between two light nuclei at energies of astrophysical interest. Another area of his research involves nuclear reactions involving intermediate energy mesons leading to the formation of exotic nuclei. He also studies the structure of elementary particles from the point of view of quarks and gluons. He is the author of 48 papers including 2 with former or current Fordham students as co-authors.
