Congratulations: Jay

May 6, 2024

I'm happy to announce that Jieqiu Shao has just passed his PhD defense. Dr. Shao took an enourmous risk when he committed to our project on our Shaken Lattice Interferometry project, as neither of us had any background in quantum physics and there was a real possibility that nothing would...

Congratulations: Still Compiling

April 26, 2024

It's been a long year, yet somehow the 2024 Engineering Expo almost managed to sneak up on us. Still, I'm pleased to say that the Senior Design Team Still Compiling managed to pull off the unthinkable: with just one day to spare, they successfully merged all the subsystems and moving...

Expo 2024

Ground Based Laser Transmitter to Target In-flight Drones (GiBLiT)

April 26, 2024

This video features the Still Compiling Team showing off their Senior Design project at the 2024 Engineering Expo . The drone is not controlled via a (boring) RF antenna, but via an optical link between a photodiode array on the drone and a laser mounted on a swiveling ground station...

Congratulations: Terry

Jan. 24, 2024

I'm very proud to announce that Terrence Skibik has just passed his defence with flying colors. Dr. Skibik is the first student that I've followed all the way through from hiring to graduation, so this day marks a tremendous milestone for the ROCC team. Terry seems to have fallen in...

Farewell: Daan

Dec. 15, 2023

Three months really flew by, but Daan was able to learn everything he needed to code up a Q-PRONTO wrapper for open quantum systems. In addition, he also ran all around the Flatirons (which was his primary goal for coming to Boulder). I hope you enjoyed your stay!

Welcome: Yu Kang

Sept. 15, 2023

It is my pleasure to welcome Yu Kang Kong into our evergrowing list of ROCC undergraduate researchers. Yu Kang is currently a student enrolled in my ECEN 2260 class and is looking to find out how large of a step there is from Transfer Functions to Control Theory. Given our...

Hike Day 2023

Sept. 11, 2023

This year's Hike Day is decisively later than usual. In fact, it's going to ba a fall hike rather the typical summer hike we've done in the past. To further break from tradition, it will not be at dawn, it will be in Boulder County, and (roll drums) it will...

Welcome: Daan

Sept. 5, 2023

With Covid-19 behind us, it's finally time to reopen university boarders and host incoming exchange students. With that in mind I'm very pleased to welcome Daan van der Velden into the ROCC Team. Daan will be in Boulder for three months, during which he'll work on the desing of Optimal...

Congratulations: Tommy

April 5, 2023

I'm overjoyed to announce that Thomas Lee Dearing has just passed his thesis defense with flying colors. Dr. Dearing is the first member of the ROCC team to graduate and has asked whether the ski and hike trips remain open to former members (to which the answer is, obviously, "Yes!")...

Ski Day 2023

Feb. 15, 2023

I'm pleased to say that our annual Ski Day tradition is still going strong: join us on Saturday, March 18th at Loveland Ski area with skiis, snowboard, or whatever other contraption you wish to use to fly down a snowy slope at (moderately) high speed. The format will be the...
