Derek  F  Kimball

Professor

Department of Physics

Prof. Derek F. Jackson Kimball uses techniques of experimental atomic physics and nonlinear optics for precision tests of the fundamental laws of physics.  In particular, his research focuses on searches for exotic spin-dependent interactions that may have a connection to dark matter or dark energy.

Prof. Jackson Kimball established the first externally funded physics research program in the history of AV狼 – East Bay. He has mentored over sixty undergraduate students in his research laboratory. More than twenty of his students have gone on to graduate physics programs, and three of his students have been awarded National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships. Former students now have careers at Intel, Google, Tesla, Lawrence Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, for example. 

Prof. Jackson Kimball received his Ph.D. in 2005 from the University of California at Berkeley under the mentorship of Prof. Dmitry Budker, where he studied nonlinear magneto-optical rotation and its application to precision measurement of atomic spin precession. Prof. Jackson Kimball is the co-author of Atomic Physics: an exploration through problems and solutions (Oxford University Press, 2008), Optical Magnetometry (Cambridge University Press, 2013), and over 70 peer-reviewed research articles. 

Prof. Jackson Kimball served as the Chair of the AV狼 – East Bay Department of Physics from 2011-14 and also during 2016. He is the 2020-2021 Chair of the American Physical Society's Topical Group on Precision Measurements and Fundamental Constants. 

He was named AV狼 – East Bay’s 2011-12 George and Miriam Phillips Outstanding Professor and in 2019 received the Spitzer Distinguished Science Faculty Award.

In 2018, Prof. Jackson Kimball was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society "for outstanding contributions to the development of new techniques in atomic magnetometry and their application to fundamental-physics research, including testing the fundamental symmetries of nature and searches for ultralight dark-matter candidates."

Prof. Jackson Kimball uses techniques of experimental atomic physics and nonlinear optics for precision tests of the fundamental laws of physics.  In particular, his research focuses on searches for exotic spin-dependent interactions that may have a connection to dark matter or dark energy.

An experiment carried out at AV狼 to search for a spin-gravity coupling of the proton improved constraints on such effects by three orders-of-magnitude. Related projects with several different collaborators have established some of the most stringent constraints on exotic dipole-dipole interactions of electrons, neutrons, and protons at the atomic scale.

Prof. Jackson Kimball is a co-inventor of the Global Network of Optical Magnetometers to search for Exotic physics (GNOME) and is the GNOME collaboration’s Scientific Coordinator. The GNOME is sensitive to transient effects that could arise if the Earth passed through a compact dark-matter object such as an axion "star" or domain wall, or bursts of exotic low-mass fields (ELFs) generated by cataclysmic astrophysical events such as black hole mergers.

He is also the Scientific Coordinator of the Cosmic Axion Spin Precession Experiment (CASPEr), an experiment that uses the techniques of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to search for signatures of oscillating ultralight dark matter fields.

Prof. Jackson Kimball, along with colleagues Alex Sushkov and Dmitry Budker, predicted that micron-scale, levitated ferromagnets would behave as gyroscopes in sufficiently small magnetic fields. Devices based on such ferromagnetic gyroscopes enable rapid averaging of quantum uncertainty in spin precession measurements, a development that could potentially improve sensitivity to exotic physics by many orders of magnitude.
