Research: Development of novel high density data storage materials (Volume Holography)

Conventional data storage devices rely on storing information bit by bit on the surface of the recording medium. This two-dimensional storage method, however, is rapidly reaching its fundamental physical limits. A promising alternative approach is holographic data storage, in which information is stored throughout the volume of the storage medium. Here at UCSB, I am working on development of such novel holographic data storage materials which may have significant scientific and Industrial impact.
