Title Assistant Professor Education Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat.) – Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg, Germany, 2016 Previous Experience Dr. Senichev began his research career during his M.S. studies, investigating semiconductor quantum dots using optical spectroscopy techniques. In his doctoral work at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, he applied near-field spectral imaging methods to map the optical properties of semiconductor nanowires and to correlate nanoscale optical behavior with crystal structure variations. After completing his doctoral degree, he joined the Quantum Semiconductor Systems Group at Purdue University as a postdoctoral researcher, where he addressed critical challenges in the growth of III-nitride materials for optoelectronic devices. Most recently, he combined his expertise in optical studies of semiconductor nanostructures and materials growth as a research scientist in the group of Vladimir M. Shalaev at Purdue University, where he advanced research in solid-state quantum photonics, focusing on the creation of scalable single-photon emitters compatible with integrated photonic circuits and semiconductor manufacturing. Professional Interests Dr. Senichev’s research addresses foundational questions and technical challenges in solid-state quantum photonics, with emphasis on quantum light sources and the control of light-matter interactions in nanophotonic structures. His work aims to develop chip-integrated quantum emitters and spin-photon interfaces relevant to quantum communication, sensing, and information processing. This research is positioned at the intersection of optical spectroscopy, quantum optics, and materials science and is conducted through collaborations with researchers at universities and national laboratories in materials growth, nanofabrication, and theoretical modeling of photonic structures and quantum emitters. Dr. Senichev is committed to training the next generation of researchers and engineers through mentoring undergraduate and graduate students and providing opportunities to participate in experimental research in quantum photonics.
