Alex Burgers

I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan (Lab Website).  I earned my PhD in Duncan Steel's lab in Michigan in 2015, studying quantum dots (QDs) and entanglement, particularly using QD spins and photons.  I moved to Caltech in 2015 for a postdoc in Jeff Kimble's lab, where I was promoted to research scientist, coupling cold atoms to nanophotonic structures.  From Caltech, I moved to Princeton University, working with Jeff Thompson, trapping Yb atoms in optical tweezer arrays for quantum computation.
