Bio: Kaden Hazzard is an Associate Professor at Rice University, where he studies how to understand and control quantum matter, especially in ultracold systems. He is interested in how to engineer increasingly complex or useful quantum states, and how to understand the rich behaviors that emerge in correlated quantum matter. He received his BS from Ohio State University and his PhD from Cornell University in 2010. He spent 2010-14 as a postdoc at JILA/CU-Boulder. Since July 2014, he has been faculty in the Rice University department of physics and astronomy.
