This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Welcome to the online research portal of the Optical Probing & Manipulation group of the Aerospace Engineering Department, Texas A&M University!

Our research aims to utilize state-of-the-art experimental techniques from the atomic, molecular and optical physics (AMOP) realm to help solve complex problems of the aerospace engineering discipline. We make use of advanced, non-linear laser diagnostic techniques such as coherent Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering to characterize gas and plasma flows; optical tweezers (0.5 Nobel Prize in Physics 2019) to isolate and study particles; advanced optomechanical sensors for aerospace metrology.

We are always interested in new physics/experiments/applications involving light and atoms/molecules/particles so make certain to contact us if you wish to discuss your idea!
