  • 'Photon Glue' Enables a New Quantum Mechanical State 3 March 2014, by Nicole Casal Moore
    'Photon glue' enables a new quantum mechanical state 3 March 2014, by Nicole Casal Moore electronic devices, including cell phones and laptops, and also in solar cells and light-emitting diodes. Organic semiconductors are made of carbon-rich compounds that don't necessarily come from biological sources, but resemble them. They are newer to the market than their inorganic counterparts such as silicon. But they are finding widespread applications in smart phone displays and room lighting. Organics hold promise to be flexible and inexpensive, perhaps even deployed on large plastic rolls. "What we've done is taken the excited states of two principally different materials and combined them In an optical cavity -- a filament lined with mirrors -- into a new quantum mechanical state that shares researchers have used light to bind together quantum their best properties," said Stephen Forrest, mechanical states of two disparate materials.

To develop such technology for implementation in experimental paradigms, I collaborated with the neurobiology research laboratories at the University of Pennsylvania and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine to record neural biopotentials from an awake non-human primate. These systems can serve as valuable test vehicles to obtain a fundamental knowledge of the numerous trade-offs involved in designing integrated biomicrosystems with respect to their power consumption (or lifetime), operating voltage, choice of carrier frequency, number of recording channels, overall dimensions, weight, and level of integration. • M.S. in Electrical Engineering, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI Sep 1997 – Aug 1999 One year extra coursework in Electrical Engineering: Systems; University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI • B.S. in Electrical Engineering,
