R-Lab is a quantum nanophotonics research group in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of California, Davis, lead by Prof. Marina Radulaski. We are a motivated interdisciplinary team that explores light and matter interaction at the nanoscale for applications in quantum and classical information processing hardware.

Prof. Marina Radulaski obtained her Ph.D. and postdoctoral training at Stanford University and subsequently started the R-Lab in 2019. Her international experience in quantum and solid-state physics research was obtained at ETH Zurich, Stanford University, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Hewlett-Packard Labs, Oxford University, the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information in Vienna, Helmholtz Center Berlin, the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Science, and the Institute of Physics Belgrade. Prof. Radulaski is a recipient of the 2023 AFOSR Young Investigator Program Award, 2022 Google Research Scholar Award, 2021 NSF CAREER Award and 2023 UC Davis Outstanding Junior Faculty Award. She was selected for the cohorts of the 2026 ETH Quantum Faculty Fellows, 2025 UC Davis Chancellor’s Fellows, 2025 Materials Today Rising Stars in Quantum Materials and Electronics, 2021 ETH Pauli Center for Theoretical Study Visiting Researcher program, 2017 Rising Stars in EECS, 2017 Stanford Nano- and Quantum Science and Engineering Postdoctoral Fellows, 2012 Stanford Graduate Fellows, and 2012 Scientific American 30-Under-30 Up and Coming Physicists. Prof. Radulaski is an Optica senior member and a member of the APS DQI executive committee.
