Brandon Rodenburg

I am a physicist and quantum information scientist with a background in quantum optics. I work at MITRE, an organization that operates National Labs (e.g. "Federally Funded Research and Development Centers" or FFRDCs) where I both engage in research and act as a trusted technical advisor for various agencies of the US government. Currently, I am a Senior Physicist and Quantum Information Scientist in MITRE's Physical Science, Nanosystems, and Quantum Group located at Princeton.

Before coming to MITRE in 2016, I graduated college from Creighton University with a B.S. in physics, as well as B.S. major in mathematics. I then received my Ph.D. from the University of Rochester's Institute of Optics, where I worked in an experimental quantum optics lab studying structured beams of light for applications in quantum information and communication. After finished my graduate research, I became a postdoctoral researcher working in the field of theoretical quantum optomechanics at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
