Mark Limes

Associate Professor, Quantum Systems

Dr. Mark E. Limes is a quantum sensing expert, specializing in sensitive alkali and hyperpolarized noble-gas measurements for magnetometry and inertial sensing. In the private sector, and as a postdoc in the Romalis group at Princeton University, he has contributed to many DARPA programs, including C-SCAN, AMBIIENT, and QUIVER, as well as various ONR and AFOSR programs, and helped detect the first unshielded magnetoencephalography (MEG) brain signals using a portable atomic magnetometer. Dr. Limes received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Utah under Prof. Brian Saam, researching spin-exchange optically pumped noble gas nuclei, as well as optically and electrically detected organic semiconductors. He also holds a B.S. from Bowling Green State University in Mathematics and Physics.
