معرفی
Professor Mario Dagenais is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Maryland, with affiliate roles in the Bioengineering department and Chemical Physics faculty. His research focuses on nanophotonic devices, quantum information systems, and astrophotonics. He holds a PhD from the University of Rochester (1978), and has held roles at Harvard University and GTE Laboratories before joining UMD in 1987.
Research interests include Si3N4/SiO2 integrated photonics, Bragg grating technologies, GaN light sources, and high-power semiconductor lasers. He has authored over 400 publications and led significant projects like the NSF Industry-University Cooperative Research Center on Optoelectronics (1994-2000).
Awards: IEEE Fellow (2009), Optical Society of America Fellow, Fellow of the Electromagnetic Society.
Grants & Leadership: Led a $2M EFRI grant on quantum communication networks (2020s), co-chaired international photonics meetings, and developed the first photon antibunching observation with Jeff Kimble (1978).
Labs: Director of the Laboratory for Nanophotonics and Quantum Integration, actively recruiting students for photonic solutions to multidisciplinary problems.
