Growing up around optical fibers and fiber draw towers, how have I not heard of ZBLAN until today? If they can pull it off, it would be monumental especially from the context of quantum networks. issnationallab.org/iss360/exotic-…

First email of 2022! Definitely not the way my inbox wanted to start it's new year. Happy new year everyone.

Killed it! Wordle 207 2/6 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

David Miller from Stanford, "I used to go this optics conferences in the 80s where there would be fist fights. It was like being at the Oscars!". This joke just made my day.

Who else has to do this in their labs every six months?!

Our collaborative work on metasurface enabled extreme depth-of-field light field imaging was just published: nature.com/articles/s4146… Press release: nist.gov/news-events/ne…

Our work selected for CLEO postdeadline (my first in 17 years of trying), POM oral (3/106 selected), preliminary work ranked 1/206 two years ago at CLEO (upgraded to invited). Same work: Can't get it past the editors at any of the journals. The difference: need I say it?

...because 16 is too slow and 18 is too fast!

If you love optics, then you cannot not love this. Beautiful, quite literally.

Our collaborative work, with Cindy Regal's JILA and Scott Papp's Scott Papp group on trapping single neutral atoms using metasurface optics is now online. Thanks to National Institute of Standards and Technology and DARPA for support. News release: nist.gov/news-events/ne… Paper link: journals.aps.org/prxquantum/abs…

I am currently looking for a postdoctoral associate to join my group. Prior experience in the field of ultrafast and nonlinear optics, metasurfaces, integrated nanophotonics, and/or nanofabrication is a plus. If interested, please reach out to me at: [email protected]

Still looking to fill an opening for postdoc position in ultrafast vibrational dynamics in my group Sandia National Labs! See details in the image below. To apply, sandia.gov/careers/studen…, job ID 685859. Questions? Contact me. Please RT! #ChemPostdoc

Pardoned the turkey...

Our team is looking for a postdoc with interest in exciton-based devices for sensing/future computing! Experience in electronic design & measurement, microscopy, organic materials design++ Please contact me for more info, shares appreciated!

Our work on ultrafast polarization control published recently in Optica opg.optica.org/optica/fulltex… is highlighted by Science: "Making the passive active": science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The two "Maradonas" of India on the same wall in Maradona country! #grandabbang #argentina

Ah so disappointed CLEO Conference for not giving the program booklet this year especially given their app is "shitty" to say the least!

"...69 points" hahaha! Just wait for it and they will be naming a "World Champion". #MajorLeagueCricket
