ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Engineering copper-vacancy color centers in zinc sulfide for quantum defect discovery”
Photoluminescent point defects, or color centers, in wide-bandgap semiconductors are important platforms for quantum information science because they can be operated as solid-state quantum spin-light interfaces. Implementing so-called defect qubits […]
infoLeNS Seminar: “Emerging computational imaging inverse problems: from theory to algorithms”
In this talk, I will focus on two challenging imaging systems: snapshot compressive imaging and coherent imaging under speckle noise interference. I will begin by reviewing the core mathematical modeling […]
IDEAS Seminar: “An optimization framework for designing robust state estimators”
Cyber-physical systems often include communication networks that ensure data transmission between different components of the system (sensors, actuators, processing units, etc). The presence of such networks renders the whole system […]
ESE PhD Thesis Defense: “Integrated Electronic-Photonic Solutions From Quantum Control Systems to Optical Transmitters”
Silicon’s advanced fabrication processes have enabled the miniaturization of complex electronic systems, enhancing performance and efficiency. Recent technological developments have further expanded silicon’s utility to integrate photonic systems, merging electronic […]
