| Dr. John A. Montgomery, Jr. | John worked as a Research Scientist in several organizations (Institute for Defence Analysis, Bell Laboratories, United Technologies, Lorentzian Inc.), and more recently at Gaussian Inc. In 2008, he became a Research Professor in the Physics Department at UConn. He is collaborating with members of my group on a range of problems related to quantum chemistry (structure calculations, long-range interactions, etc.). More recently, he was involved in our collaboration on reaction of ultracold atoms with polyatomic molecular ions at UCLA. |

| Dr. Harvey Michels | After retiring from United Technologies in 2000 (where he was a Research Fellow), Harvey became a Research Professor in the Physics Department at UConn. He is collaborating withmembers of my group on a range of problems related to quantum chemistry (structure calculations, long-range interactions, etc.). |

Ionel Simbotin Ph.D. 2012 Thesis |
During his Ph.D., ionnel worked on atom-diatom reactive scattering at
ultracold temperatures. In particular, he explored benchmark
reactions with barrier between H2 and D, and Cl, to
produce H and HD, and HCl.
After his Ph.D., Ionel worked with Vasili Kharchenko on atom-diatom scattering in system of astrophysical interest, and rejoined our group as a postdoc, now working on Near Threshold Reosnances (NTR). |

Jovica Stanojevic Ph.D. 2007 Thesis |
During his Ph.D., Jovica worked on Rydberg physics, especially
on modeling the blockade mechanism in large atomic samples. He also studied
long-range interactions between Rydberg atoms.
After his Ph.D., Jovica went as a postdoc in the group of Jan-Michael Rost in the Finite Systems Group at the Max-Planck Institute for Complex Systems, followed by a postdoc in the group of Philippe Grangier at the Institut d'Optique in Palaiseau. He returned to UConn in 2016 as a visiting scholar, and he is now working on trilobite-like states. |

| Di Shu | Di is a Ph.D. student working on ultralow energy scattering. In particular, he is invloved in the effect of Near Threshold Resonances (NTR) on scattering cross sections, as well as on Efimov physics. Recently, he has been investigating Milne's equation, and a method to solve it within a multi-channel formalism. |
