Our research interest spans the areas of nanophotonics, semiconductors, nonlinear optics, ultrafast optics and quantum optics. My group works at the intersection between nanophotonics and quantum information science, harnessing foundational active and passive photonic technologies to develop scalable integrated photonic and optical microsystems for applications in metrology, quantum sensing and computing. In particular, our recent research effort has focused on creating fully integrated quantum platforms leveraging photonic integrated circuits and metasurfaces, serving as building blocks for scalable, portable, and deployable quantum sensing and computing systems. These include working on externally funded programs and with private entities on development of scalable technologies for realization of low SWaP optical and microwave atomic clocks, radio-frequency sensors as well as trapped atom and ion-based quantum computing platforms.
