I am Edward Marti, an assistant professor at WashU in the department of Cell Biology and Physiology from July 2025. I originally studied quantum physics and Bose-Einstein condensation during my Ph.D. at UC Berkeley with Prof. Dan Stamper-Kurn, and later worked on precision measurement and atomic clocks at JILA, CU Boulder, and NIST with Prof. Jun Ye. Since then, I retooled as a biophysicist at Stanford with Profs. Steve Quake and Steve Chu. I have become excited about using my background in precision science to build new ultrasound platforms and peer inside living organisms.
