Bio: Mahdi Hosseini earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the Australian National University in 2012, where he focused on developing highly efficient and versatile room-temperature quantum optical memories. He then pursued postdoctoral research at MIT, exploring cavity quantum electrodynamics through interactions of photons with laser-trapped atoms in high-finesse cavities. In 2016, he joined Purdue University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, where he established a research group dedicated to solid-state quantum optics and optical sensing. In 2023, he transitioned to Northwestern University as an Associate Professor in both the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Applied Physics Program. His current research interests encompass quantum light interactions with rare-earth quantum centers in solids, photonic devices, optomechanical and levitation sensing systems, and the applications of quantum squeezed light in sensing and communication. He has been recognized with the NSF Career Award (2022) and the DARPA Young Investigator Award (2024).
