Profile: My PhD research is in theoretical quantum optics, and involves developing models for integrated quantum nanophotonic devices that are promising building blocks for future photonic quantum technologies.

Research interests

Quantum optics, quantum technologies

Summary of Research Project(s)

I look at how quantum emitters in nanophotonic structures can be used to develop useful devices for quantum technologies. This includes single-photon switches and quantum gates that would enable universal quantum computing with photonic qubits.
