Biography:
Charles received his Ph.D. from Stanford in 2003, where he studied semiconductor quantum dots as sources of single photons and correlated photon pairs.

He joined the Quantum Science Research group in February 2005, where he is currently researching nanoscale classical and quantum optics. His current interests include electromagnetically induced transparency in solids, nonlinear optics at low light levels, and single-photon generation.

Education:
S.B., Physics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997
