Connor’s research focuses on the development of quantum sensors based on nitrogen vacancy center defects in diamond for applications such as bulk vector magnetometry and wide-field magentic imaging. In particular, he pursues, in close collaboration with others in the group, the realization of techniques to improve NV-diamond magnetic sensitivity and robustness against material, environmental, and experimental imperfections. His graduate work has also included the development of NV-based characterization techniques to better inform the development of diamond material tailored to magnetic sensing applications.
