Daniel H. Broaddus completed his PhD in Applied & Engineering Physics at Cornell University in June 2010. Dr Broaddus has been an author or co-author on five manuscripts, including "Self-phase modulation at visible wavelengths in nonlinear ZnO channel waveguides", published in Applied Physics Letters. He has eight years of experience in optical science. While at Cornell, Dr Broaddus has been associated with the Cornell Center for Nanoscale Systems and led research projects in nanophotonics and nonlinear optics. His dissertation research has applications in ultra-high-bandwidth telecommunications, material science, and laser physics. During his tenure at Princeton, Dr Broaddus was a research intern at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, where he gained a familiarity with plasma and high-field physics. His undergraduate thesis focused on high-density plasma generation in gases. Dr Broaddus joined the Edanz Group as a writer and editor in 2010.
