معرفی
Ebrahim Karimi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Ottawa, Canada, and holds the Canada Research Chair in Structured Light. He leads the Structural Quantum Optics (SQO) group, focusing on quantum information, structured light, and applications of quantum systems. His research spans quantum cryptography, optical angular momentum, and singular optics. Karimi also serves as an Adjunct Professor at IASBS (Iran) and a Visiting Professor at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (Germany).
Education: He earned a B.Sc. from Kerman University (2001), M.Sc. from IASBS (2002), and Ph.D. from the University of Naples Federico II (2009). His Ph.D. thesis on 'Light orbital angular momentum and its application on classical and quantum information' won the best thesis award.
Research Interests: Applications of structured quantum waves (massive and massless particles) in modern science, including quantum communication, quantum metrology, and nanoscale magnetic field sensing. His work bridges fundamental physics with technological innovations like high-dimensional quantum cryptography and electron vortex beam control.
Awards: Ontario’s Early Researcher Award (2018), Young Researcher of the Year (2018), University of Ottawa Early Career Award (2019), Fellow of The Optical Society (OSA), and membership in the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars.
Labs/Teams: SQO Group at the University of Ottawa, collaborating internationally on projects like underwater quantum channels and electron beam shaping. Active in editorial roles for Optics Express and New Journal of Physics.
