Christopher R. Phillips received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 2009 and 2012, respectively. He worked at Stanford on nonlinear optical devices for pulsed and continuous wave photonic applications. Following his Ph.D. degree, he moved to ETH Zurich, Ultrafast Laser Physics Group via a Marie Curie fellowship on optical parametric chirped pulse amplification. After the fellowship, he stayed at ETH while broadening. He is the Senior Project Leader for the Solid-State Frequency Combs Subgroup. He has coauthored about 60 journal publications and 120 conference papers. His current research interests include modelocked lasers and parametric oscillators with low-noise, high repetition rate, and high power applications of dual optical frequency combs, and numerical modeling of nonlinear-optical systems. He is a Senior Member of Optica.
