Kevin A. Grossklaus

Dr. Kevin A. Grossklaus is a technical staff member in the Quantum-Enabled Computation Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. As part of the superconducting qubits microfabrication team, he works to develop new processes and evaluate new material systems for superconducting quantum devices. His research interests include molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) deposition of superconductors and materials characterization of qubit devices.

Prior to joining MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Grossklaus was a research professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. His research focused on epitaxial growth of III-V and group IV semiconductor materials and heterostructures for infrared sensing and energy harvesting applications. He also served as manager of the Tufts Epitaxial Core user facility, where he worked to teach semiconductor deposition and characterization techniques to students and enable their research.

Before moving to Tufts University, Grossklaus was a process development engineer at the Intel Corporation’s PTD group in Hillsboro, Oregon. He worked as part of the front-end thin film metals team to develop new fabrication processes for advanced CMOS nodes. For his PhD research, Grossklaus worked as part of Prof. Joanna Millunchick’s group at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, to explore the epitaxial growth and ion irradiation response of highly mismatched III-V semiconductor heterostructures.
