Tomorrow's technological solutions begin with today's groundbreaking discoveries. I explore the physics of electronic and photonic materials and devices to build a framework for the development of new technologies that take advantage of the unique physical properties of novel and exotic quantum systems. Bringing over ten years of world class research experience and a strong background in team-building and leadership, I work to discover new ways quantum physics and exotic materials can allow us to invent the cutting edge sensor, detector, and measurement technologies of the future. With advances in the sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability of measurement, we open the door to new discoveries and pave the way for pioneering advances in technologies that drive our civilization forward.
