SCHOOL/UNIT DESCRIPTION: The Ginzton Laboratory houses the research operations of 20 Principal Investigators, 25 staff scientists, 200+ graduate students, 25 post docs, 25 support staff and numerous visitors. The Ginzton Laboratory is an interdisciplinary research lab that explores the most exciting and productive areas at the overlap between engineering and the sciences. The combination of science and engineering gives new concepts, understanding, and rigor from science, the stimulus of challenging and important problems from engineering, and the depth of engineering technology to enable advanced scientific experiments. Strong opportunities come from the overlap of three scientific and engineering fields - quantum science and engineering, photonic science and engineering, and nanoscience and engineering. These are embedded in an environment that encourages and explores applications from other fields, such as sensing, communications, information processing, biology and medicine, energy, and the environment.
