Associate Professor, Physics, Applied Physics and Astronomy
I am interested in developing efficient and reliable sources of indistinguishable photons, by coupling defects in hexagonal boron nitride with plasmonic nanoparticles. I am also my department's leader in terms of developing an inclusive space.
