Welcome to the world of PULS!

Led by Dr. Lingze Duan, Assistant Professor of Physics, the PULS at UAHuntsville consists of a group of people who are fascinated by the intriguing nature of light. Our program enjoys the state-of-the-art optics research facilities at UAHuntsville and proximity to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, Army's Redstone Arsenal, Cummings Research Park, and other high-tech institutions/companies in the greater Huntsville area. Members of PULS come from different cultural backgrounds but share the same passion toward science.Together, we seek deeper understanding and greater control of light. We also position ourselves as part of the community and strive to service the northern Alabama region through various channels.
