Kali Wilson is a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Strathclyde. She uses superfluid mixtures formed of ultracold atoms as a highly-controlled environment to probe the mechanisms underlying cooperative behaviour in quantum systems, and to study how the cooperative behaviour changes when driven from equilibrium. She is currently developing an ultra-cold atom experiment to study the dynamics of these superfluid mixtures, and to explore the role that vortices play in energy dissipation in quantum many-body systems. Her research relies on bridging experimental techniques from the atomic physics, nonlinear optics and imaging communities.
