Dr.
Nathan Gemelke
Works with Prof.
Cheng Chin.
Grainger Postdoctoral Fellow Nathan Gemelke completed his PhD on ultracold atomic gases and Bose-Einstein condensation under direction of Nobel Leaureate Dr. Steven Chu at Stanford University. His research there included investigations of fractional quantum Hall effects in rotating ultracold Bose gases, atomic parametric oscillation, superfluid-Mott insulator transitions, sub-recoil laser cooling, and photoassociation of ultracold molecules. In May, 2007, he joined the James Franck Institute to participate in research on quantum degenerate atomic Bose and Fermi gases, few-body physics, and quantum information in the group of Prof. Cheng Chin. Since joining, he has delivered the 66th Arthur H. Compton Lecture Series, and assisted in producing the first Bose-Einstein condensate of cesium atoms in the United States. |

Dr. Shachar Iwanir
Works with Prof. David Biron.
Postdoctoral Scholar Shachar Iwanir obtained his PhD in 2006 from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, where he studied ion channels physiology under the guidance of Prof. Eitan Reuveny. In his research he employed electrophysiological, molecular and imaging tools, to study the function of a G-protein gated, inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channel in pancreatic islet cells. In a subsequent post-doc work in the same lab, he developed a recombinant knock-in mouse line for dynamic in-vivo channel imaging studies. He joined the laboratory of Prof. David Biron in September 2009, switching to a rather novel research field, namely behavioral studies of the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. In particular, he dedicates his efforts to the development of a long-term, high-throughput behavioral analysis system and its application in the study of lethargus, a worm sleep-like state.
