Kamil Leon Sołtys

Design and development of vacuum and cryogenic systems for experiments with ultracold molecules.

Professional Profile

As the Chief Engineer in our research group, I am responsible for the comprehensive oversight and development of all vacuum and cryogenic systems.

In our experimental setup for spectroscopy of ultracold molecules, featuring a research chamber operating below 4 K, I developed a wide range of engineering solutions to ensure the required mechanical stability and thermodynamic properties. These advanced designs enabled the successful realization of the entire planned scope of research. Many of the technologies we use rely on proprietary know-how and have become integral to our work through collaborative testing and optimization within the team.

A new, custom-designed chamber with thermal shielding will enable us to conduct a series of complex and innovative experiments. The number of individual components I have designed is already in the tens of thousands and includes dynamic systems operating in deep cryogenic environments. Our cryogenic actuator systems are also developed in-house, using the most advanced design tools available.

Outside of my engineering work, I am passionate about philosophy, music composition, and practicing judo.
