Cody Leary

Cody Leary is an Associate Professor of Physics at the College of Wooster specializing in quantum optics and photonics. He mentors undergraduate researchers in experimental and theoretical physics projects.

His research explores quantum properties of light including spin-orbit interactions and photon entanglement. Recent studies investigate polarization-based control of hybrid light modes and analogies between photon and electron dynamics.

He has advised over 25 independent study projects spanning optical manipulation, quantum interference phenomena, and nanoparticle dynamics.
