Joseph C Chapman

Bio

Joseph Chapman received a B.S. degree in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2016 where he worked under Paul Kwiat to support their quantum communication projects. He then was granted a PhD in Physics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2020 where he stayed to experimentally lead Kwiat’s investigation to implement quantum communication in space for NASA. In 2017, he was awarded the competitive National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellowship by the Department of Defense. In 2019, he was awarded the Donald and Shirley Jones Fellowship for outstanding graduate students by his department.

His research as a postdoctoral associate at Oak Ridge National Laboratory focused on developing quantum light sources and characterization techniques to assess the feasibility of quantum light coexisting with the telecom infrastructure. More broadly, his current research at ORNL focuses on quantum network hardware development.

He is a member of Optica (formerly the Optical Society of America) and the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE). He is also a regular reviewer for the Physical Review and Optica families of journals.
