David Cory

Faculty, Professor, Canada Excellence Research Chair Laureate

David Cory is a physical chemist working to develop quantum devices for sensing and computation.  Earlier sensors have found applications in fields as varied as cancer diagnostics, materials processing for tires, improved sensitivity for oil exploration, and a sensor for dark matter searches.  Two startups recently spun out of the lab develop quantum sensors with medical, biochemical and materials applications.
