Speaker's Brief Introduction:Dmitry Budker is an American physicist born in 1963 in the Soviet Union. He earned his PhD in physics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1993, under Eugene D. Commins' supervision. Budker's research focuses on atomic, molecular, and optical physics, precision measurements, magnetic resonance, diamond-based sensing, and fundamental symmetries. Currently, he is a Professor at Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz and Helmholtz Institute Mainz, Germany, and Professor of the Graduate School at UC Berkeley.
Budker's work has significantly advanced our understanding of fundamental physics, and his techniques have potential applications in biophysics and materials science.
