Charles Dox was born on March 14, 1943. After getting experience in local theater, he attended Carnegie Institute of Technology, served two years in the U.S. Army and returned to his alma mater to teach. He came to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment industry despite receiving a rejection letter in 1970 from one studio executive who told him, “Frankly, I think at this time, anyone’s chances of making a living in the film industry are terrible.”

Quantum-enhanced detection for chip-scale wireless communicationsThe demand for fast data sharing and processing has sparked a race for greater bandwidth in wireless communication systems. This is described by Edholm's Law, which states that bandwidth and data rates roughly double every year and a half. As our wireless networks near their limits, the quest for even faster data rates prompts researchers to explore uncharted territory: higher frequency bands like millimeter wave, terahertz and optical frequencies.
