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.
A group paper on Sensitivity optimization for NV-diamond magnetometry has been published in Reviews of Modern Physics.
A group paper on Imaging crystal stress in diamond using ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy centers has been published in Physical Review B.
A group paper on Principles and Techniques of the Quantum Diamond Microscope has been published in Nanophotonics.
