Assistant Professor of Engineering

Professor Anthony Rizzo completed his doctoral research under Prof. Keren Bergman in the Lightwave Research Laboratory at Columbia University and received his PhD in 2022. During this time, he investigated integrated photonic systems for ultra-low energy, ultra-high bandwidth optical interconnects under the DARPA PIPES and ARPA-E ENLITENED programs. This work resulted in the first demonstration of a Kerr comb-driven silicon photonic link for massively scalable wavelength-division multiplexed co-packaged optical interconnects. After receiving his PhD, he joined the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Information Directorate as a research scientist where his work focused on integrated photonics for quantum networking, quantum computation, and quantum sensing. He is now an assistant professor of engineering and the principal investigator of the Rizzo Integrated Photonic Systems Laboratory at Dartmouth, an interdisciplinary integrated photonics laboratory focused on the application of large-scale photonic systems in solving pressing multi-domain challenges facing humanity.
