  • Lecturer in Optics (Physics & Astronomy)

Biography

Dr Adetunmise Dada is a Lecturer in the School of Physics and Astronomy, and he is a member of the Centre for Quantum Technology at the University of Glasgow.  

He is 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 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).

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.
