Research Interests
I study optically active spin qubits in wide bandgap semiconductors such as diamond and Silicon Carbide. These听crystallographic听defects can host spin states which听have long coherence times at room temperature and听are able to transfer their quantum information to photons, which can be used as part of a wider quantum network听or as a readout mechanism.听听
A primary application of these spin qubits听is in nanoscale sensing of听magnetic, electric,听temperature and strain fields. For example, integration of the听nitrogen vacancy听center听in diamond into a confocal optics 鈥� AFM system has allowed for the mapping of magnetic fields听with听nm precision.听听
In addition to my research, I am engaged in various public engagement activities, most recently through 果冻影院鈥檚 Trellis scheme.
Interesting fact
When I was 14, I played Augustus Coverly in a Library theatre production of Arcadia.
