Biography

Trevor is a second year Materials graduate student and NSF Quantum Foundry Fellow working in Prof. Bowers and Prof. Moody's groups. He received his Bachelor's in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Minnesota in 2019 and moved to Santa Barbara soon after to pursue a PhD in Materials. His main research project utilizes optical nonlinearities in AlGaAs to generate entangled photon pairs. The Bowers and Moody groups are working to develop critical quantum photonic components around this new platform (AlGaAs) with the goal of creating quantum photonic integrated circuits for quantum information and computing applications.
