Applied Physics Seminar

Speaker's Bio:
Andrei Faraon graduated from Stanford University with a PhD (2009) in Applied Physics and a MS (2009) in Electrical Engineering. He did his undergraduate studies at California Institute of Technology where he graduated with a BS with honors in Physics (2004). During his PhD in the group of Prof. Jelena Vuckovic, he focused on developing integrated photonic crystal devices with coupled quantum dots for classical and quantum information processing. Andrei is now a postdoctoral fellow in the Intelligent Infrastructure Lab at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories (Palo Alto, CA). At HP, he develops photonic quantum technologies based on nitrogen vacancies in diamond, and builds optical interconnect devices in silicon. He published over 20 journal articles and coauthored two book chapters.
