 he held a postdoctoral position and then an Assistant Research Scientist position at the Joint Quantum Institute (NIST/University of Maryland). He obtained an M.S. and a Ph.D. (2006) in optics from the Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester, a
 B.S. (1998) from Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (ITESM) in Mexico. More information about Dr. Marino and his research can be found at

 perform complex calculations, and enhance the sensitivity of measurements. &nbsp;Among those resources, one of the most important is entanglement, which is characterized by correlations stronger than allowed classically. &nbsp;Due to its fundamental role in quantum
 information science, the generation of entangled states of light is an active research area. I will start the talk with a general introduction into the topic of generation and characterization of entangled states of light known as twin beams. I will then show
 how it is possible to use four-wave mixing (FWM) to generate them and will describe some of the properties of the quantum states of light generated with this nonlinear process. Finally, I will describe the role that quantum states can play in enhancing the
 sensitivity of devices. In particular, I will show how it is possible to use the reduced noise properties of twin beams to enhance the sensitivity of plasmonics sensors.</span></p>
