Founders
Aaron J. Miller, PhD, has 20+ years of expertise in superconducting photon detector technologies and cryogenic systems, including semiconductor and superconductor device design, fabrication procedures, equipment safety, process development, fiber coupling, and low-noise electronics. He earned his BA in Physics and Mathematics from Albion College in 1995 and his Ph.D. in Physics from Stanford University in 2001, worked in detector and systems development at NIST (Boulder, CO) from 2001-2005, and was on faculty at Albion College from 2005-2014.
Josh A. Cassada, PhD, has extensive experience in high-energy physics, specifically programming analyses and modeling and, in his subsequent Naval flight career, has developed and honed a disciplined approach to technical challenges relying on detailed procedural methodology, systematic process flow, and effective documentation and test reporting. He earned his BA in Physics from Albion College in 1995 and his PhD in Physics from the University of Rochester in 2000. At the founding of Quantum Opus, Josh led the fabrication process development for our photon detection products. In June 2013 he was selected as one of eight members of the 21st NASA astronaut class.
