Misagh Izadi

Misagh Izadi received his bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology in 2015. He subsequently completed a master’s degree in Electronic Engineering with a specialization in photonics, where his research focused on tunable electromagnetically induced transparency using graphene. He then moved to the United States to pursue graduate studies at Stevens Institute of Technology, earning a master’s degree in Physics and a Ph.D. in Physics in 2026.

During his doctoral studies under the supervision of Prof. Yuping Huang, Misagh’s research focused on quantum communication using high-dimensional photonic states. In particular, he worked on the mode-selective generation and characterization of time-frequency entangled photons, investigating correlations in both temporal and photon-number degrees of freedom. His research also involved nonlinear optics, photon-number-resolving detection, and quantum measurements.

Misagh defended his doctoral dissertation in June 2026. His main research interests are quantum communication, quantum networks, high-dimensional quantum information processing, and photonic quantum technologies for future quantum internet applications.
