Peter Engels is a professor of physics at the Washington State University,[1] who conducts research in the field of ultracold atomic gases. His group at WSU performs a variety of experiments involving quantum hydrodynamics, spin–orbit coupling (See Spin–orbit interaction), soliton formation, condensed matter physics, and more using Rb-87 (bosonic) and K-40 (fermionic).[2] Recently, in collaboration with the theorists Prof. Michael Forbes, Yongping Zhang, and Thomas Busch, his team published research demonstrating negative mass hydrodynamics in a spin–orbit coupled Bose–Einstein condensate.[3][4][5]
