Biography

Alexey Akimov received his PhD degree from Moscow Institute for Physics and Technology in 2003. In 1997, he started working in the Laboratory for Active Media at the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. His research was focused on the narrow optical resonances in hot and laser-cooled atoms. During 2006-2012, he was a Visiting Scholar in Misha Lukin’s group in Physics Department of Harvard University, where he worked on a number of research projects related to surface plasmons, quantum dots and NV centers in diamond. The main focus of this activity was light-spin interfaces. During 2010-2012, he was the Acting Director of the Russian Quantum Center (RQC). He then assumed a Principal Investigator position at the RQC and conducted research in the fields of cold atoms and solid state spin systems. In October 2015, he joined the Physics Department of Texas A&M University as an Assistant Professor
