About Us

We do research in quantum measurement and control theory, a cross-disciplinary field that combines quantum physics, probability theory, and control engineering. We are also interested in quantum optics, nonlinear optics, and nano-optics.

Our group is housed in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National University of Singapore and currently funded by a generous 5-year grant from the Singapore National Research Foundation Fellowship program. We are also affiliated with the Computational Nanoelectronics and Nanodevices Laboratory (CNNL) and the Department of Physics.
