Jeffrey Holzgrafe

Jeffrey Holzgrafe is currently a research scientist at HyperLight, starting in May 2022. Jeffrey was previously a PhD candidate at Harvard University from September 2017 to June 2023, where they focused on quantum optics, integrated electro-optic devices, and nanofabrication. Prior to that, they were a masters student at the University of Cambridge from October 2015 to July 2017, where they studied quantum defects in solids, nanoscale sensing, and nanomechanics. Jeffrey also worked as a research intern at Harvard University and Vanderbilt University, working on topics such as plasmonics, quantum solid-state defects, nanomaterials, and lithium-air batteries from 2013 to 2015. Jeffrey also had a research internship at The University of Texas at Austin in 2012, where they applied rare-event sampling to simulations of plasma-material interactions. In addition, they briefly served as a writing tutor at Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in 2013.

Jeffrey Holzgrafe graduated from Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics. Jeffrey then pursued a Master of Philosophy in Physics with a Part III Physics MASt at the University of Cambridge from 2015 to 2017.
