Professor Hannah L. Stern (Oxford) leads the Materials for Quantum research group, exploring how defects and localised excitations in novel materials interact with light enable quantum technologies. Her team combines optical spectroscopy, magnetic resonance, confocal microscopy, quantum optics and advanced device fabrication to probe electronic structure and spin dynamics in systems such as two-dimensional materials and molecular semiconductors. Their goals include building spin qubit platforms for quantum sensing and optical quantum networks.
My research interests are in the general area of optoelectronics, including integrated circuit based surface emitting laser devices, optically controlled smart tags, and optical sensors.
