 David Branning received his B.A. in physics from Rice University in 1990. After working on laser design at Los Alamos National Laboratory, he joined the quantum optics research group of Leonard Mandel at the University of Rochester. After receiving his Ph.D. in physics in 1998, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. In 2001, he became a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he worked with Professor Paul Kwiat on quantum information processing experiments with photons. Dave is currently an assistant professor of Physics at the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. he will join the Trinity faculty in Fall 2005.
David is a member of the Optical Society of America, the American Physical Society, and the New York Academy of Sciences. His research interests focus on quantum optics, including single-photon and two-photon interferometry, tests of nonlocality and the foundations of quantum mechanics, parametric downconversion, and quantum information processing using the polarization and/or spectral degrees of freedom for photons.
In the Fall David will teach Principles of Physics (PHYS 101) and Modern Physical Measurements (PHYS 320).
