Staff Spotlight: Sarice Jones, WNF Research Engineer

Sarice Jones is one of our newest staff members! Sarice helps ensure our equipment operates smoothly so that the users who depend on these tools for their work have reliable access to them. In the past, she has used and maintained a range of house-built fabrication equipment, teaching her the ins and outs of many complex fabrication tools. She joined WNF as a research engineer in October 2019.

Quantum Edge

The UW’s strengths in photonics, materials science, physics and electrical and computer engineering give it an edge in pursuing quantum science. Resources such as the Washington Nanofabrication Facility also help, as does the College of Engineering’s strong commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration. Learn more about how the QuantumX initiative is helping move the UW into the coming Quantum Age.
