Don Fahey's research centers on quantum sensing and measurement. His work develops techniques to exploit quantum resources in solid state crystals and atomic vapors to build better sensing technology, as well as probe fundamental questions of measurement relating to entanglement and exotic quantum states. Long-lived quantum coherence and interaction in portable, room temperature systems is of particular interest, as well as extending atomic, molecular, and optical techniques to novel systems. Fahey's applied research is inherently cross-disciplinary, as new sensing modalities (such as the Quantum Diamond Microscope) enable advances in other scientific fields, e.g. rock magnetism, bio-magnetism, and condensed matter. He trained with Nobel Laureate Bill Phillips at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Joint Quantum Institute, has published on a variety of topics, and was most recently a principal scientist at a deep tech startup.

Fahey's teaching revolves around cultivating curiosity and examining mental models. As a teacher-scholar, he strives for inclusivity in the classroom and lab, with the goal of making the next generation of scientists more representative.
