Associate Professor Erik Streed
Research Leader
Coming from the field of quantum physics, Associate Professor Streed is interested in leveraging this expertise to tackle challenging problems in fields including quantum thermodynamics with memory powered engines, long-range fibre-optics quantum communications, quantum computing, material science, life science, and surgical lasers. Within the Institute for Glycomics, his team is focused on the spectroscopy and ion trapping of bioparticles, with an aim towards building new types of tools that enable other researchers to advance their understanding of biomolecular processes.
Streed group bio
The Streed Group specialises in ion trapping from single atoms to whole cells, and spectroscopy and microscopy development across the near UV-VIS-Near IR bands. Recent work has included the development of a super-resolution enabled zeptoNewton scale 3D Force sensor based on a single atom and development of quantum communications hardware. His Gold Coast lab hosts numerous commercial and purpose built spectrometers, monochromators, lasers, and speciality lamps.
