Researchers & Visitors

Trevor Arp

Postdoctoral Researcher

Chiara Grieco

Postdoc Scholar

Broida 5105
My work is focused on the High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCal) for the upgrade of the CMS experiment for HL-LHC. UCSB is one of the Module Assembly Centre for the assembling of the silicon module. I will participate in those operation and take care of the test of those modules.

Antonin Sojka

PostDoc

1362
My work focuses on development a broadband high field electron spin resonance spectrometer powered by free electron laser.

Prashant Srinivasan

Project Scientist

Broida 1207
My work primarily involves developing high brightness laser sources by Coherent Beam Combination. I develop Yb-doped fiber lasers and amplifiers, photonic systems, Analog and Digital (FPGA) control systems and free space optical systems for Directed Energy Laser Phased Arrays. Applications include deep-space exploration enabled by photon propulsion, wireless power delivery to space craft and rovers to enable space science missions.

Tamas Vami

Postdoctoral Scholar

Broida 5105
Dr. Vami is interested in Exotic Beyond Standard Model processes at the LHC and light dark matter searches at SLAC

Qile Wu

Assistant Project Scientist

Institute for Terahertz Science and Technology
Modern electronic devices, whose development relies on our understanding of the properties of solid-state materials, have made profound impact on our society in various aspects including communication, health care, industry, and security. Emerging new devices such as quantum computers are expected to further revolutionize all aspects of our world from defense to financial trading. Two of the three leading platforms for building a quantum computer are based on solid-state materials. Nowadays, millions of new solid-state materials can be discovered by using modern computer technologies. Developing methods for characterizing these new materials is an essential step towards fabrication of new devices.
