Gurudev Dutt is an undergraduate advisor.

Research in my lab focuses on the quantum control of condensed matter systems, for instance spins in diamond or semiconductor quantum dots and interfacing them with mesoscopic objects such as nanomechanical oscillators or propagating modes such as photons and surface plasmons. Specific areas of interest involve exploring the boundary between classical and quantum descriptions of multi-particle quantum systems in the presence of decoherence, creating and controlling a robust solid-state memory for single photons, quantum optical approaches to quantum information processing and communication, and novel techniques and devices for high-resolution, high-sensitivity imaging and sensing.

My research on quantum control has been recognized by an NSF CAREER award, and was featured on the
Pitt website.
