聽earned his PhD in聽国产原创 Electrical and Computer Engineering聽at聽国产原创聽in 2013 under Prof. Sharon Weiss.聽Judson鈥檚 first exposure to academic research was through participation in a summer research experience for undergraduates which included regular use of聽 VINSE聽laboratories at their earlier location in Stevenson Center. After graduating from 国产原创, Judson joined聽Intel Corporation聽in Santa Clara, CA as a research scientist and photonic design engineer, ultimately contributing toward the development and successful commercial release of Intel鈥檚 first silicon photonics products (100G PSM4 and CWDM4).聽During his time at Intel he coordinated closely with fab partners to ensure optimal performance and high yield of silicon photonic passive designs in 300聽mm wafer scale processes, and cites his prior experiences at VINSE鈥檚 and聽Oak Ridge National Laboratory鈥檚 cleanrooms as providing a 鈥渁n excellent foundation for his work鈥�.
In the fall of 2016 Judson joined聽Clemson University聽as an Assistant Professor.聽His research is centered in the field of nanophotonics which studies and harnesses light interaction with nanostructured materials and devices.聽Within this domain he currently specializes in: (1) optical biosensors based on colorimetric and waveguide devices, (2) nanostructured silicon photonics for cybersecurity and enhanced light-matter interactions, and (3) scalable nanomanufacturing techniques for flat-optics and metasurfaces. He has been recognized with both the AFOSR YIP and NSF CAREER Awards, holds 10 patents, and currently serves as an advisor to Anello Photonics.
