Ed Marti, PhD

Edward (Ed) Marti is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University, School of Medicine.

Ed is currently working on diverse projects from molecular ultrasound imaging, RNA expression noise, and aging. Previously, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA) at the University of Colorado, Boulder. At JILA, Ed completed an evaluation of the strontium lattice clock, the world’s most accurate and stable clock. The latest generation of clocks should be accurate to the gravitational redshift of a few centimeter change in altitude on Earth. He also worked on a new apparatus that will use the precise control of clocks to study unusual phases of interacting ultracold fermionic atoms.

Ed attended undergraduate and graduate school, the latter as a Hertz Fellow, at University of California, Berkeley. During his PhD thesis, Ed constructed a machine that trapped Bose-Einstein condensates in novel geometries and precisely measured how subtle magnetic interactions could change the dynamics of these ultracold atoms.
