9th Annual Texas STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Conference
October 30, 2021
R. Nicholas Lanning received a B.S. degree in physics and another B.S. in mathematics from Lamar University in 2012. He received his Ph.D. in physics from Louisiana State University in 2018, under the guidance of the late Jonathan P. Dowling. Dr. Lanning is a theorist specializing in the spectral and transvers-spatial mode structure of photons created in nonlinear-optical interactions, the design of entangled-photon sources, and quantum communication over free-space channels. He is the PI of the quantum communication group at the Air Force Research Lab – Directed Energy Directorate – Space Electro-Optics Division (AFRL/RDS) at Kirtland AFB, NM.
