Jonathan Hood joined Jeff Kimble’s Quantum Optics group at Caltech in 2010. He spent two years working on an optomechanics experiment which optically levitated and cooled a nano-disk. In 2012, he helped start a new experiment that studies strong atom- light interactions in nano-photonic devices. He has been involved with the fabrication and simulation of the nano-devices, as well as the atomic physics measurements. Jonathan did his undergraduate at the University of Maryland, where he worked with Dr. Luis Orozco on an experiment measuring parity violation in Francium atoms.
