Recent Research projects
My research interests are at the intersection of solid-state quantum optics and nanophotonics. Specifically, they are on the optical properties of excitons and carrier spins in III-V epitaxial quantum dots and defect colour centers in 2D materials and diamond and their optical coupling to nanophotonic and nanoplasmonic devices towards the realization of single-photon emitters and spin-based quantum bits for applications in quantum computing and communication.
