Dongchel Shin

Dongchel Shin is a PhD candidate in mechanical engineering whose research focuses on creating quantum and precision metrology platforms that probe fundamental physics and pave the way for future industrial technology. As a MathWorks Fellow, Dongchel will take a lead role in a cutting- edge experiment to observe gravitational interaction between two quantum systems, with the goal of answering a central question in modern physics: “Is gravity quantum?” His contributions include leading experiment design, which involved studying the effects of noises that can impact the motion of milligram scale masses with gravitational interactions of interest. He also created a novel theory of interferometric optical lever detection, which he used to demonstrate a record-setting quantum-noise-limited angular motion readout at the level of 10–12 rad. Finally, he is developing novel optimal signal processing techniques to extend and augment MATLAB’s multi-taper spectral estimation. Throughout his work, MATLAB has been an indispensable tool. Dongchel’s cutting-edge research in quantum optics, quantum measurements, and signal processing has the potential to deliver valuable knowledge and capabilities to the growing field of quantum engineering.
