Biography
As director of the Quantum Defects Lab, Kai-Mei Fu’s research focuses on identifying and controlling the quantum properties of point defects in crystals, which has potential applications for both information and sensing technologies. Fu has been honored with an NSF CAREER Award, the Cottrell Scholar Award and the UW College of Engineering Junior Faculty Award. They are the co-chair of the UW QuantumX Steering Committee, Director of the NSF National Research Traineeship: Accelerating Quantum-Enabled Technologies, Deputy Director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage, and they hold a joint appointment with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
