Dr. Paul Voss

Biography

Paul Voss received his B.A. degree with a Humanities emphasis in French Literature from Brigham Young University in 1994, followed by a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Florida State University in 1997. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Northwestern University in 2000 and 2003, respectively. After completing his postdoctoral studies at Northwestern University, he joined the faculty at Georgia Tech in January 2006. His research focuses on both the experimental and theoretical study of optical amplifiers that utilize nonlinear mixing to provide gain. These fiber parametric amplifiers are capable of wavelength-converting signals and serve as sources of entangled photons for quantum key distribution. Voss has theoretically identified and experimentally verified fundamental limits in the performance of devices used in optical communications and quantum key distribution, and he has developed ultrasensitive detection techniques such as photon counting and quantum optical homodyne tomography. Throughout his career, he has authored or co-authored over 50 publications and conference presentations and holds one patent.
