Caltech Nanofabrication Group

Tom Baehr-Jones received his BS (Physics, 2002) his MS (Applied Physics, 2005) and his PhD (Applied Physics, 2006) from Caltech. He is currently a Research Associate Professor in the Nanophotonics lab at the University of Delaware. His research interests include computational physics, integrated optics, and silicon-photonics systems. He was a co-founder at both Simulant and Luxtera during his time as an undergraduate at Caltech. He is also currently the Associate Director of the OpSIS foundry service.
