Prof. Huang joined CPCC in September 2009 after graduation from Michigan State University with a Ph.D in the fields of quantum optics, atomic physics, and atom optics. He is a research assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Northwestern University. His research in CPCC focuses on studies of nonlinear optical phenomena in solid-state systems in the ultimate quantum limit, including generation of pure single and entangled photons, optical transistors with attojoule pump energy and zero background, deterministic quantum optical logic operations, manipulation and detection of ultrafast quantum signals, and so on.
