Connor is currently an undergraduate at CU Boulder studying Engineering Physics and Electrical Engineering. In 2024 he joined the Sun lab as an undergraduate researcher, working on a project in which he designed an analog signal processing circuit to generate a TTL signal synchronized with vibrations from a closed cycle cryogenic system to be used as a means of enhancing the quality of measured data. He is currently working with Nitrogen Vacancy center defects in diamond in a collaborative project aiming to demonstrate a new method of quantum noise spectroscopy.
The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
