I received my undergraduate degree from Durham in 2008 and for my masters project I studied collective dynamics of mesoscopic ensembles of Rydberg atoms. This was a computational/theoretical project.
The long term goal of the nanowire project is to produce a mobile, tightly confining atom trap, based on domain walls in magnetic nanowires. We are also hoping to produce a switchable nanomagnetic atom mirror. For some of the work done so far see my first year report here (up to date as of the end of August).
