Jasper Stroud (Fed)

Dr. Stroud joined the Applied Physics Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in June 2020 as the recipient of a prestigious National Research Council fellowship. Prior to NIST, he received a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Johns Hopkins University under the supervision of Prof. Mark Foster. His thesis work titled “Optical Signal Processing for Efficient Information Networks”, targeted developing solutions in high-speed and robust processing of optical signals for applications such as bandwidth efficient communications to high-speed medical imaging. At NIST, Dr. Stroud has brought his extensive expertise in laser applications and computational techniques to bear on a number of high-value problems. He teamed up with other researchers that span numerous groups across 2 NIST campuses to address the compelling problem of creating fast, accurate, and compact acceleration sensors, important for dead reckoning navigation, vibration sensing, and many other real-world applications. Dr. Stroud is continuing his innovative work with electro-optics and has pushed into new application areas by building a dual-comb spectroscopy system with tunable sweep rate capable of generating light in the UV, near-infrared, and THz. Dr. Stroud has published 18 notable manuscripts, presented 20 research talks, and holds 3 patents.
