I am a member of the Stony Brook University BEC lab of Dominik Schneble, which is part of the Atomic, Molecular, and Optical group at Stony Brook University. We recently achieved a Rubidium-87 BEC in July in order to study its behavior in an optical lattice. We use a vapor cell MOT, transportation stage to move into our McTOP trap, and end with the formation of BEC in a dipole trap/optical lattice. I have been currently working on the calculation of excited state Wannier functions for simulation of and expectations for our experiments. Also we are building the lattice currently. I have been in the lab for about two years now, and have experienced sundry details going into building an ultracold atom laboratory from the ground up. Here is a link to our group website. If you would like to learn a little about what I am studying in my lab, The University of Colorado has a good website for beginners explaining the process of creating a Bose-Einstein Condensate. The Nobel Prize website also has some more advanced material. If this is too elementary, then you probably know where else to look
