2006 PECASE - Joshua Bienfang
The Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) represent the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government on science and engineering professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers.
More Information
Bienfang is using fundamental theories of physics, combined with the latest telecommunications technology, to develop a form of secret-message transmission known as quantum cryptography. His expertise in laser technology and high-speed electronics has enabled him to shoot particles of light through the air billions of times per second to set several new world records in quantum-cryptography transmission speeds. The technology may be useful someday for highly secure encrypted wireless communications.
