Dr. Paul Voss

Biography

Dr. Voss received a B.A. degree with an emphasis in Humanities and French Literature from Brigham Young University in 1994. In 1997, he obtained a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Florida State University. He later earned both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Northwestern University in 2000 and 2003, respectively. Following his postdoctoral studies at Northwestern University, he joined the faculty at Georgia Tech in January 2006. His research has involved both experimental and theoretical studies of optical amplifiers, specifically focusing on fiber parametric amplifiers that utilize nonlinear mixing to provide gain and wavelength conversion for signals. Dr. Voss has also worked on sources of entangled photons for quantum key distribution. His work has identified and theoretically verified the fundamental limits of performance for devices in optical communications and quantum key distribution. He has developed ultra-sensitive detection techniques for photon counting and quantum optical homodyne tomography. His ongoing research at Georgia Tech emphasizes the development of novel and improved devices and systems for optical and quantum communications. Over his career, he has authored or co-authored more than 50 publications and conference presentations and holds one patent.
