My group is active in the general area of theoretical atomic physics, especially few-body problems.  We are currently working in two main areas: ultracold few-body collisions and intense laser-matter interactions.  You can see more details by clicking Research>Current Projects to the left, or by reading some of our Publications.

Highlights:

10-2009 NEW: There are two postdoc positions available to work on ultracold collisions.  Read the official ad here (with application instructions).  Further inquiries can be made to me at esry@phys.ksu.edu. 9-2009 NEW: I'm co-organizing a workshop at INT in March 2010 entitled "Weakly Bound Systems in Atomic and Nuclear Physics" 9-25-2009 Anis successfully defended her Ph.D. Thesis!  Look here for a link to it when the final corrections have been made... 8-2009 Esry named Ernest K. and Lillian E. Chapin Professor of Physics 7-2009 Anis named a finalist for Yong-Ki Kim award at ICPEAC 5-1-2007 1999 Esry, Greene, and Burke paper on  Efimov states in ultracold collisions was highlighted in AIP's Physics News Update 11-2006 Esry elected Fellow of the American Physical Society

Open Positions:

• I can always find interesting projects for undergraduate physics majors to work on — send me an email to find out more or just drop by my office!
