Matt Turner
I am a student in the Physics PhD program at the University
of Washington, where I am working with the Eöt-Wash group at
the the Center for Experimental
Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics. My research
interests include short-range gravity, gravity
gradiometry, weak-value amplification, and high-sensitivity angular deflection measurements. My undergraduate work was in
high-intensity optics, specifically high-harmonics generation.
