Dr. Armen Gulian is the Senior Research Scientist and Director of Chapman University's
Advanced Physics Laboratory, located in Burtonsville, Maryland. His scientific career
began with a PhD and post-doctoral research on non-equilibrium phenomena in superconductors
and superfluids with Nobel Laureate Vitaly Ginzburg.
Before setting up Advanced Physics Laboratory for Chapman, Dr. Gulian founded the Laboratory of High-Temperature Superconductivity at the Physics
Research Institute, Armenia (overseeing the world's first observation of phase-slip centers in high-temperature
superconductors). Dr. Gulian has also worked on development of quantum detectors at
US Naval Research Laboratory, where he suggested a theoretical design and experimental
demonstration of cryogenic detector prototypes for X-ray/UV single-photons.
Read Dr. Gulian's Curriculum Vitae and review his list of many publications, including prediction of "photon deficit" effect (important for development of electronic coolers); theory of superconducting quantum generators (potential application for terahertz radiation imaging and high-resolution acoustic imaging); prediction of interference current at hydrodynamic description of superconductivity (important for superconducting nano-wires).

Ebrahim Karimi, Ph.D.
Professor Ebrahim Karimi is a Professor at Chapman University and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Structured Waves and Quantum Communication at the University of Ottawa. He has authored over 200 publications and holds 3 patents, exploring the quantum properties of electrons and photons. He was the founder and co-director of the University of Ottawa Quantum Institute (NexQT). He is a Fellow of Optica, the Global Young Academy, the Royal Society of Canada, the National Research Council Canada, and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen, Germany. He has been awarded the Ontario Early Researcher Award, the University of Ottawa Early Career Researcher of the Year Award, the Herzberg Medal from the Canadian Association of Physicists, the NSERC Arthur B. McDonald Fellowship, and the Rutherford Memorial Medal from the Royal Society of Canada.
Prof. Ebrahim Karimi is a globally recognised physicist whose pioneering research bridges quantum optics, photonic technologies, and quantum information science. He is best known for advancing the science of structured quantum waves, optical angular momentum, and high-dimensional quantum systems. He has made foundational contributions to quantum photonics, real-time imaging of entangled photons, and secure quantum communication.
