Assistant Prof. Yoav Sagi in the I-CORE group research:
i am leading an experimental group in the Technion, which focus on the many-body physics of interacting fermionic ensembles. We study ultracold gas of neutral atoms (potassium 40) which we cool, trap and manipulate using lasers, magnetic and electric fields.
