• Short Bio:
• Dr. Georgiou is an Associate Professor at the department of Electronic and Nanoscale Engineering in University of Glasgow, since 2021. He is an expert in semiconductor Quantum Technologies, Nanoelectronics, high-frequency electronics and opto-electronics, THz technology, photonics and ultrafast optics. Dr. Georgiou is leading the lab for Ultrafast Quantum Terahertz Nanoelectronics (ultraQUTE), and his research focusses on semiconductor Quantum Technologies (semiconductor qubits) at very high-frequencies and higher-temperatures (4K). His research work extends into the integration and scalability of Quantum systems with high-frequency THz electronics and opto-electronics, through smart on-chip photonic packaging. Furher to that, Dr. Georgiou has interests into how fundamental particles interact at ultrafast time scales in condensed matter systems. He studied ultrafast optics, THz optoelectronics and photonics at the Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMOLF), and the Technical University of Eindhoven (TU/e) in the Netherlands, from 2012-2016. Then he moved to Institute Neel, CNRS, France, where he worked on Quantum Nanoelectronics and cryo-optoelectronics from 2016-2021. There he developed ultrafast cryo-optoelectronic techniques that enable the study of ultrafast quantum dynamics in solid-state systems and he worked on the generation and detection of ultrafast flying qubits in semiconducting systems. He is a Royal Society of Edinburgh research Fellow, and his research portfolio as a PI exceeds £1.2M, with funding from UKRI EPSRC, European Innovation Council (EIC), University of Glasgow, Scottish Government and RSE . He is the author of several peer-reviewed publications and he holds 3 patents on THz optoelectronic devices.
