Dr. Sanjay Kumar Prabhakar
Affiliate, Stanford PULSE Institute
BioDr. Prabhakar is an Assistant Professor of Physics at Northwest Missouri State University and a Visiting Faculty member at the Stanford PULSE Institute. He has taught a variety of undergraduate physics courses at Northwest Missouri State University, including algebra-based physics, calculus-based physics, quantum mechanics, and classical physics.
Dr. Prabhakar is a theoretical physicist whose research focuses on applying ab initio methods, tight-binding models, and continuum modeling to investigate the properties of quantum materials for applications in solid-state quantum computing and materials science. His work combines density functional theory (Quantum ESPRESSO), finite element modeling (COMSOL Multiphysics), and computational tools such as MATLAB and Python to study the electronic structure and quantum properties of low-dimensional materials, quantum dots, and other condensed matter systems.

Jelena Vuckovic
Jensen Huang Professor of Global Leadership, Professor of Electrical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Applied Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsJelena Vuckovic’s research interests are broadly in the areas of nanophotonics, quantum and nonlinear optics. Her lab develops semiconductor-based photonic chip-scale systems with goals to probe new regimes of light-matter interaction, as well as to enable platforms for future classical and quantum information processing technologies. She also works on transforming conventional photonics with the concept of inverse design, where optimal photonic devices are designed from scratch using computer algorithms with little to no human input. Her current projects include quantum and nonlinear optics, cavity QED, and quantum information processing with color centers in diamond and in silicon carbide, heterogeneously integrated chip-scale photonic systems, and on-chip laser driven particle accelerators.

Alfred Zong
Assistant Professor of Physics and Applied Physics
BioI am an assistant professor in the Departments of Physics and of Applied Physics, and my group focuses on the study of light-induced non-equilibrium phenomena in quantum materials. To capture the ultrafast dynamics on the nanoscale, we develop a variety of techniques such as ultrafast electron diffraction and microscopy, attosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, and coherent diffraction imaging. These time-resolved probes are integrated with a complex sample environment such as in-situ strain and electrostatic gating in order to design, discover, and understand non-equilibrium phases of quantum materials.
We are seeking motivated undergraduates, graduate students, and postdocs to join the group. Please email me directly to discuss opportunities.
