Branford Wilkins
Postdoctoral Researcher
Education
Ph.D. Texas A&M University
B.S. University of South Carolina (Chemistry)
Research Interests
My research interests include the design and synthesis of molecular qubits, with a focus on molecules that can display quantum clock transitions. I am also interested in optically addressable molecular qubits, and molecular qubits that leverage interactions between electron and nuclear spins.
Research Skills
- ▸ Single crystal X-ray diffraction
- ▸ SQUID magnetometry
- ▸ Air-sensitive synthesis techniques (glovebox, Schlenk line)
- ▸ EPR spectroscopy (beginning to learn!)
