Terahertz-Frequency Electro-Optics: Colliding Quasiparticles a Trillion Times per Second
Mark Sherwin received his Bachelor's degree in Physics from Harvard in 1981, and his Ph.D. in Physics from UC Berkeley in 1988. Just after receiving his Ph.D., he joined the faculty at UCSB's Physics Department, where he is currently Professor of Physics and Director of the Institute for Terahertz Science and Technology. He has more than 150 publications, 2 patents, and one patent pending, and has directed research leading to more than 20 Ph.D. theses. His current research interests include condensed matter physics, biological physics, the development of new detectors for THz frequencies, and transferring discoveries made using the UCSB FELs to rapidly-evolving compact sources of THz radiation.
