People: Michael Gullans

Graduate Student

Biography:

I attended UC Berkeley for my undergraduate degree, where I majored in Engineering Physics. While at Berkeley, I worked at the Center for Beam Physics, a division of LBNL, for two years with Prof. J. Wurtele on the theory of intense laser-plasma interactions and free electron lasers. In 2007, I began the Ph.D program in physics at Harvard University. Since then I have been working with Prof. Mikhail Lukin on quantum information science and many-body physics. Especially, on the problem of controlling the mesoscopic nuclear spin environment of electrons confined in quantum dots.
