Research Statement
Ryan Suess carries out research in optical physics, devices, and systems. During his doctoral work at the University of Maryland, he investigated nonlinear and ultrafast optics in two-dimensional materials, including work developing optoelectronic devices in graphene and black phosphorus. He has conducted research in remote sensing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory, ultrafast material physics at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, and developed advanced sensors for autonomous robotics and computer vision tasks as a scientist at Amazon. Particular topics of interest include novel measurement techniques in ultrafast optics, nanophotonics, optical computing, and nontraditional sensing.
