PhD Thesis - Locally Controlled Photonic Crystal Devices with Coupled Quantum Dots: Physics and Applications This is a Non-HP site

 

Research interests

I currently work on micro and nano- scale and quantum photonics. I did my PhD at Stanford University, in lab of Prof. Jelena Vuckovic This is a Non-HP site, I worked on quantum optics experiments with quantum dots and photonic crystals. My focus was on building integrated photonic crystal networks This is a Non-HP site for classical and quantum information processing
