REMINDER TODAY @ 12pm in BRK 2001:
The next Future BNC meeting will be today
Thursday, 2/7 @ 12pm (lunch provided) in BRK 2001.
Mahdi Hosseini, Assistant Professor
of Electrical and Computer Engineering will be presenting his research for the first half then the remainder will be open for high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future center of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared
vision for Birck. Please find below Mahdi’s abstract.
Exploring Quantum Regime of Atom-Photon Dynamics for Applications in Sensing, Communication and Computations
Abstract:
The coherent interaction of photons with atoms has broad applications in sensing, communication and computations. Understanding light-matter dynamics at the micro and macroscopic scales is key to developing scalable
quantum photonic technologies. I will review our prior and recent results demonstrating various quantum mechanical effects at the atom-photon interface including recent observation of anomalous light emission from an array of atoms on chip. I will also discuss
our multidisciplinary approach for implementation of a scalable quantum communication network and then open discussion for potential collaboration within Brick.
Attached (and below) is the schedule of future BNC strategic thinking discussion meetings, please mark your calendars to attend if possible.

Subject: Future Birck meetings (Thursdays 12-1pm, Birck 2001)
Dear Colleagues,
In our Faculty Leadership Council meetings last year, we had extensive discussions about Birck Center’s strategic planning and how we can become more prominent as a top nanotechnology center internationally. We
are fortunate to have a great foundation (excellent faculty and staff, outstanding facility, and healthy financial performance and support from university). When I arrived about seven years ago, in consultation with many of you, we identified three main priorities:
(1) space to bring new faculty/centers to Birck (2) replacement of many aging equipment. (3) signature or unique equipment/facility, best in the country, to increase our visibility and attract external partners.
We have made significant progress in all three items above. However, we need a much larger fraction of Birck community to take ownership and be directly involved in the planning for future of Birck. I know everybody
is extremely busy, but if we don’t make an effort to come together and benefit from our collective strengths, what Dana, Yong and I in the leadership could do, will be limited.
With the help of Peter Bermel, we are initiating a series of
Future BNC meetings this semester, every Thursday 12noon-1pm at Birck 2001 (lunch provided). In the first 20-30 minutes, we may hear from a faculty member who will present their research very broadly, at a level accessible to those outside their
immediate areas. This will create space during the remainder of the hour for a high-level discussion of collaboration opportunities that can lead to future centers of excellence and/or also brainstorm about a shared vision for Birck. See below the current
schedule. We will update this to have an event every Thursday (except holidays).
Please don’t hesitate to contact me or others in the leadership if you have any ideas or suggestions or want to present in one of the upcoming meetings. I look forward to see you at the Future Birck meetings.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Best regards,
Ali
