Leader of Research Theme 3 – Dynamically Controlled Dissipationless Systems

Kris Helmerson, Chief Investigator, Monash University, an LGBTIQ Ally

CI Prof Kristian Helmerson has performed groundbreaking experiments in the fields of ultracold collisions of atoms, matterwave optics, nonlinear dynamics with atoms, superfluidity of atomic gases and atomtronics; he was instrumental in establishing the field of nonlinear atom optics. He leads the Research Theme 3 where the team utilises ultracold atoms in an optical lattice as a model system to investigate (i) dissipation and equilibration in driven Floquet systems and (ii) the creation of topological states in multi-dimensional extensions of the kicked quantum rotor.
