Clearing the path for future Black physicists

28 Oct 2022

This article is the sixth and last in a series of essays written by Black physicists and co-published with Physics Today as part of #BlackInPhysics week 2022, an event dedicated to celebrating Black physicists and their contributions to the scientific community, and to revealing a more complete picture of what a physicist looks like. This year’s theme is “joy in the diverse Black community”.

Wesley Sims is an assistant professor of physics at Morehouse College, US, and the director of the Micro/Nano Optics Research and Engineering Laboratory. Sims studies integrated photon–photon correlation architectures that can provide ultrafast sensitivity and thus inform both coherent and incoherent excitation mechanisms in a plethora of quantum materials, from solid-state to soft-condensed-matter systems
