Biography

The Park Group focuses on fundamental studies of nanoscale electrical, optical, and plasmonic devices that operate based on quantum mechanical principles. The group is dedicated to the development of new nano- and microelectronic tools for interfacing with living cells, cell networks, and organisms. The goal of the quantum optoelectronics effort is to develop solid-state photonic, optoelectronic, and plasmonic devices that function at the single quantum level, thus paving the way for all-optical computing and solid-state quantum information processing. Additionally, the nano-bio interfacing effort aims to develop new nanoscale tools for interrogating living cells and cell networks, focusing on illuminating the behavior of immune cells in health and disease, as well as the inner workings of the brain. The quantum sensing and control effort seeks to develop ultra-sensitive magnetic, electric, and temperature sensors based on diamond color centers to address problems spanning condensed matter physics, molecular structural determination, and biological sensing.
