Nathaniel Irwin is a graduate student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UIUC specializing in scalable quantum information processing and solid-state sensing, with a focus on monolithic integration of silicon carbide divacancy qubits into photonic platforms. Over 11 years of experience across academic and industry labs (UT Austin, MITRE, HRL) gives him hands-on expertise in optical, electrical, and mechanical system design, plus growing skills in advanced nanofabrication. He combines deep theoretical knowledge of light-matter interaction with practical work building metrology and characterization tools for photonic integrated circuits. Nathaniel’s background in both physics and ECE enables him to bridge simulation, device fabrication, and system-level integration, and he’s comfortable across multiple programming and simulation environments. Notably, he has supported end-to-end research workflows from lab infrastructure and databases to the simulation and testing of novel optoelectronic devices.
