I am a physics PhD student at the University of Surrey, working primarily within the photonics and quantum sciences research group at the Advanced Technology Institute. I hold a master’s degree in Physics from the University of Surrey during which I worked in R&D at the Center for Integrated Photonics developing high-speed electroabsorption modulated lasers. My doctoral research project focuses on fabricating spin-polarizing devices from strongly spin-orbit coupled III-V semiconductors.
