Biography
Dr. Ming-Tie Huang received his bachelor degree in physics from National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan and his Ph.D in experimental atomic physics from Kansas State University. He had worked at Photon Factory, KEK High Energy Research Institute in Japan, and Argonne National Laboratory before coming to SVSU in 2002.

My research is in the field of experimental atomic physics.
1. Even parity resonances of laser excited lithium with synchrotron radiation:
Ground state lithium atoms are first excited by linearly polarized laser light. They are then collided with synchrotron radiation to reach even parity resonances. Those even parity resonances are then studied as a function of synchrotron radiation energy and the angle between the polarization axis of laser light and that of synchrotron radiation. The study will reveal the detailed electron correlations.
2. Capturing atoms with laser light---Capturing gas rubidium atoms with a Magneto-Optical-Trap (MOT).
A MOT uses near resonance laser pumping with six circularly polarized laser beams tuned to slightly below the resonant frequency, under a quadruple magnetic field, to slow down (and thus cool down) the atoms, capture and confine them in a small volume near the zero field region. The atoms can be cooled down to be below one mK for detailed studies.
