Dr. Engels is the Yount Distinguished Professor of Sciences in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Washington State University where he is leading the Fundamental Quantum Physics Lab.

He has over twenty years of research experience with ultracold atoms, dilute-gas Bose Einstein condensates and degenerate Fermi gases. His research interests span a broad range including quantum hydrodynamics, artificial gauge fields, quantum analog simulations with quantum gases, and few-body physics. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Hanover, Germany.

As a postdoctoral researcher he performed experiments with rapidly rotating Bose-Einstein condensates at JILA / University of Colorado. He is an APS fellow and has been involved in CAL since 2014.
