Prof. Bozhko received the NSF CAREER award entitled “CAREER: Fundamental phenomena in magnon condensates” (award number DMR-2338060). The five-year project focuses on the in-depth study of macroscopic quantum states and phenomena in ferromagnetic materials. The project also aims at the development of quantum education at UCCS.

Congratulations to Kaitlin McAllister, our undergraduate student, for winning the Top Undergraduate Scholar Award at 2023 Mountain Lion Research Day! Read more.

We are excited to announce that our group partners with Danaher Cryogenics to develop a 300mK 3He cryostat for magnonics research in the quantum limit.
The cryostat will allow microwave and optical fiber access to enable Brillouin Light Scattering experiments on magnon Bose-Einstein condensation in various materials. Stay tuned for more updates!

Prof. Bozhko received the Department of Energy Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research (FAIR) initiative grant entitled “Macroscopic quantum states in antiferromagnets: Bose-Einstein condensation of anti-ferro-magnons” (DE-SC0024400). The three-year project focuses on studying magnon Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) in antiferromagnetic materials. Read more about the funding award in the Communique article.

Congratulations to Kaitlin McAllister and Renju Peroor for receiving the best poster awards for their presentations at the 9th Front Range Magnetics Symposium!

Prof. Bozhko received the UCCS Faculty Revitalization Fellowship award. The main goal of the award is to mitigate the COVID-19 impact on research, revitalize collaborations, and open new research directions.

Prof. Bozhko received the NSF Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) grant entitled “ERI: Hybrid magnonic optics for data processing applications”. The project focuses on the development of spin-wave-based physical data processing devices.

Prof. Bozhko received the UCCS Committee on Research and Creative Works (CRCW) seed grant entitled “Creation and Investigation of Hybrid Reconfigurable Magnonic Crystals”. The project focuses on the development of hybrid reconfigurable magnonic crystals.
