Andrew M.C. Dawes

Physicist, researcher, and educator specializing in photonics, quantum optics, and active learning environments. I explore the interactions between light and matter, from laser systems and atom traps to slow- and fast-light phenomena.

Projects

My current projects run the gamut of optics, electronics, and computing. My research explores the interactions between light (lasers) and matter (individual atoms). I operate laser systems, atom traps, and various experimental instruments. I make things and fix things. 3D printing and robotics are recent hobbies as well.
