Megha Jain

Megha is a postdoctoral fellow in the group in a collaborative project with Dr. Dan Dalacu at the National Research Council of Canada to advance deterministic entangled photon sources based on quantum dots in nanowires. Her research aims to push the boundaries of performance for distributed quantum sensing, high-resolution imaging, and long-distance entanglement distribution. Prior to this, she was a postdoctoral fellow in the Light-Matter Group at Polytechnique Montreal and the UFIRS Lab at Chungbuk National University, South Korea. Her research focused on ultrafast dynamics in strongly correlated materials, nonlinear optics, and quantum sources based on 2D transition metal dichalcogenides. She earned her Ph.D. from Punjabi University, India, where she explored the structure-property correlations of spinel compounds for solid-state lighting applications. Outside of her academic work, she finds cooking to be a relaxing stress-buster.
