Hobson co-leads the Ultracold Strontium Laboratory within the AION atom-interferometer collaboration, developing squeezed strontium atomic ensembles and quantum-non-demolition measurement techniques to beat the standard quantum limit in long-baseline atom-interferometric searches for dark matter and gravitational waves, alongside a parallel programme on ultra-precise, shock-resistant optical clocks. Actively recruiting postdocs as the group builds out its cold-atom laboratories.

Horbury is Principal Investigator for the magnetometer instrument on ESA's Solar Orbiter mission, studying solar-wind turbulence and the Sun's magnetic connection to the heliosphere through in-situ spacecraft instrumentation.

Hori performs precision two-photon laser spectroscopy of antiprotonic helium and other exotic atoms (much of it carried out at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator), testing CPT symmetry and QED and constraining the antiproton-to-electron mass ratio.

Ivanov works on nanotechnology-enabled biosensors and biophysical measurement platforms, including nanopore and microfluidic devices for single-molecule and single-particle biosensing.

Kim's theoretical group works on quantum optics and quantum information, including generation and application of non-classical light (cat states, GKP states) for quantum metrology, continuous-variable quantum information and fundamental tests of quantum mechanics.

Kolthammer works on quantum photonics with an emphasis on nonclassical states of light and their applications to quantum information and sensing. Research highlights: (1) Gaussian Boson Sampling — first time-bin encoded GBS experiment using a loop-based interferometer with superconducting TES photon-number-resolving detectors, demonstrated enhancement in dense-subgraph search over classical methods (PRX 2022); (2) Squeezed state characterisation — nonclassicality certification using multiplexing layouts with superconducting TES detectors, sub-Poisson and sub-binomial statistics (PRA 2017); (3) Frequency-multiplexed photon pair sources — electro-optic frequency shifting for indistinguishable single-photon multiplexing without added multi-photon events; (4) Photonic quantum sensing — developing time-bin encoded platforms for quantum-enhanced sensing and quantum advantage demonstrations.

Kuimova pioneered the use of fluorescent 'molecular rotor' probes combined with fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) to quantitatively map intracellular microviscosity in live cells and tissue, with applications spanning photodynamic therapy, membrane biophysics and G-quadruplex DNA imaging.

Ladame develops biosensors and molecular diagnostic assays that detect cell-free circulating nucleic acid biomarkers (DNA/RNA) directly, without enzymatic amplification, for applications in early disease diagnosis and monitoring.

Lim is an Advanced Research Fellow jointly responsible for the ultracold eEDM experiment at Imperial. He contributed to demonstrating sub-Doppler laser cooling of YbF to 100 μK (PRL 2018), the first demonstration of laser cooling of a heavy polar molecule to ultracold temperatures. He now leads development of the lattice eEDM experiment, developing techniques for loading laser-cooled YbF into a 3D optical lattice for precision eEDM measurements with coherence times far exceeding those of the beam experiment.

Maier's group works on nanophotonics and plasmonics, including metasurfaces, 2D-material photonics and plasmon-enhanced sensing, exploiting sub-wavelength light confinement for sensing and light-matter interaction applications.
