Curriculum Development
PHY3802L - the Syllabus was changed in form and scope, and the course is now proposed to be
an upper level Scholarship-in-Practice course (2015)
PHY6937 - Techniques in Experimental Physics. The aim of this one-semester course is to give
participants a fine start into an experimental, graduate-level research program in Physics.
In addition, the participants will deepen skills required for technical careers in the 21st
century. The course is intended for MSc and PhD students, but gifted undergraduate
students are encouraged to participate as well (2009)

Research and Original Creative Work
My research interests lie in the broad area of quantum effects at nanoscopic scale. The main research
direction I developed at FSU is focusing on quantum coherence and it involves studies of spin dynamics in
diluted spin systems and molecular magnets. The research program benefited from an Alfred P. Sloan
Research Fellowship and a NSF Career award, now continued with a regular NSF grant. This goal is
achieved by using superconducting devices and therefore I devoted particular attention, as a second
research direction, to superconducting properties of materials and how they are affected by the presence of
strong magnetic fields. In the planning of this research program, we develop goals in several stages. We
propose new measurement techniques, and we recently demonstrate the use of superconducting micro-chips
to study samples in high magnetic fields. We design experiments aiming to explore new physical
properties, especially related to phase coherence and spin-photon coupling. We develop new theoretical
insight, based on the accumulated data and propose future studies. On the technical side, my laboratory is
equipped with a dilution refrigerator, a vector magnet field and various microwave and fast electronic
instrumentation.
