Tony is a postdoctoral associate in the Research Laboratory of Electronics, at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Tony completed a B.S. in Engineering Physics at University of Colorado at Boulder, a PhD. in Applied Physics at Harvard. In his PhD, he worked on discovery of condensed matter physics by using an atomic sensor in diamond as a magnetometer probe.
His current research focuses on all aspects for SNSPDs.
