Dr Luke Trainor Awarded Fellowship
Dr Luke Trainor of the University of Otago has been awarded a Mana Tūāpapa Future Leader Fellowship by the Royal Society, Te Apārangi. It’s valued at $820,000 over four years. The award is an important step forward in Dr Trainor’s career and towards the real-world use and commercialisation of photonic and quantum technologies.
Dr Trainor will study how “rare-earth-doped magnetically ordered crystals” may be used to create optical quantum memory. Like computer memory, quantum memory, can be used for storage of data.
