Dr. Schaibley earned his B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from Purdue University graduating Phi Beta Kappa, and then obtained his M.S. in Electrical Engineering (Optics) and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Michigan. His doctoral dissertation focused on interfacing the quantum states of single electrons bound to single semiconductor quantum dots with single photons for developing quantum information technologies. Dr. Schaibley became involved in developing novel two-dimensional optoelectronic device technologies during his postdoc at the University of Washington.
