Dr. Graeme Flower received his PhD from the University of Western Australia (UWA) in 2022, where he developed novel approaches to improve axion dark matter detection using magnetic systems and hybrid quantum techniques. He is currently a Research Associate at UWA’s Quantum Technologies Dark Matter Laboratory (QDM Lab). Throughout his research career, Dr. Flower has worked in areas including magnetic materials, superconductor physics, and novel microwave cavity design, with translational work focused on YIG-based microwave oscillators. His research also includes fundamental studies of the gravitational Aharonov-Bohm effect. His present focus is on the ORGAN experiment, which is Australia’s flagship axion dark matter search initiative. In a recent phase, ORGAN has achieved near-quantum-limited sensitivity when operating at millikelvin temperatures utilizing a flux-driven Josephson parametric amplifier (JPA). Dr. Flower's ongoing research aims to push the quantum limits of microwave detection, with particular interest in developing new quantum devices such as bolometers and single-photon counters based on Josephson junctions, aimed at applications in next-generation axion haloscopes.
