Justin M. Brown

Justin M. Brown is an Atomic Physicist at the Information Sciences Institute (ISI) of the University of Southern California, leading quantum sensing efforts and establishing a new atom-based sensing laboratory. With a PhD in Physics from Princeton University (2011) and a Miller Postdoctoral Fellowship (2011-2013), he brings over 10 years of industry research experience in atomic magnetometry and matterwave interferometry to ISI.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Physics, Princeton University, 2011
• Miller Postdoctoral Fellow, 2011-2013

Dr. Brown's research centers on quantum sensing and practical atom-based sensor development, specifically advancing techniques in warm atomic vapors and cold atom systems to transition quantum sensors from laboratory environments to real-world applications. This work bridges fundamental atomic physics with precision measurement engineering for deployable technologies.

His publication history reveals a consistent trajectory in precision measurement using atomic systems, with emphasis on fundamental symmetry tests (Lorentz invariance, CPT symmetry) and comagnetometer innovation. The research evolves from theoretical perspectives on practical quantum sensors toward experimental validation in atom interferometry, demonstrating a clear path toward field-deployable quantum sensing devices.

Key recognition includes:

• Miller Postdoctoral Fellowship (2011-2013)

No information regarding student advising or research grants was provided in source materials.

Dr. Brown is currently establishing a dedicated atom-based sensing laboratory at ISI focused on overcoming technical barriers to move quantum sensors out of controlled laboratory settings and into practical operational environments.
