Jeremy Kirch

Jeremy D. Kirch (M’12) was born in Madison, WI, USA, in 1983. He received the B.S. degree in both electrical engineering and physics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, Madison, WI, USA, in 2007, and the Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Wisconsin–Madison, Madison, WI, USA, in 2017, as a Roger Bacon Fellowship recipient. He is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His graduate studies primarily consisted of investigations into compressively strained metamorphic buffer layers grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition on either InP or GaAs, including InAsP, InPSb, and InGaAs MBLs, for use with Type-I QW Lasers. His current research interests include quantum cascade laser (QCL) design, fabrication, and testing, including research into high-power QCL phase-locked arrays.
