Gregory D. Fuchs

The Fuchs Group is focused on spintronics and quantum information science. We study and manipulate spin and optical degrees of freedom in solid-state materials. To do this, we draw inspiration from many fields including atomic physics, materials science, and electrical engineering. 

Fuchs earned his Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Cornell University in 2007. Afterward, he moved to the University of California, Santa Barbara as a postdoctoral associate. In 2011, he joined the Cornell faculty of Applied and Engineering Physics. In 2012 he received a Young Investigator Award from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, in 2013 he received an Early Faculty Career Award from the National Science Foundation along with the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, and in 2014 he received the Early Career Award from the Department of Energy.
