Adetunmise Dada is a Lecturer in the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Glasgow. His past roles include Research Fellow and Senior Research Associate within the Electronics and Nanoscale Engineering Research Division in the School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow (2019-2021), Senior Research Associate within the Quantum Engineering Technology Labs (2016-2019) at the University of Bristol, and Research Associate in the Quantum Photonics Laboratory at Heriot-Watt University (2013 - 2016).
He served as the Principal Investigator for ☼ BROADDAYQCOMM ☼ an EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) grant at the University of Glasgow for research into quantum communications in daylight by exploiting photon sources emitting at 2.1 microns.
His background (PhD) is in experimental quantum optics, quantum signal detection, and high-dimensional quantum information. He has over 7 years of postdoctoral research experience in experimental quantum photonics engineering using quantum-dot-based on-demand single-photon sources as well as parametric sources of photon pairs.
Quantum Optics & Quantum Communications: Engineering novel sources of quantum states of light using both free space and integrated photonics, and development of novel implementations of quantum communication protocols.
Quantum Measurements & Metrology: Design and development of measurement schemes for quantum states of light and their application to novel quantum metrology tasks.
Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) Quantum Optics and Terahertz Photonics: Quantum optics communication in SWIR domain to enable daylight quantum communication; study of matter-mediated interaction between terahertz fields and quantum light.
