- Short Bio:
- I am an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) at the department of Electronic and Nanoscale Engineering in University of Glasgow, since 2021. I am an expert in Quantum Nanoelectronics, ultrafast optics, opto-electronics, THz technology, photonics and metamaterials. Since arriving in Glasgow I have established the lab for Ultrafast Quantum Terahertz Nanoelectronics (ultraQUTE), and my research focusses on semiconductor Quantum Technologies (semiconductor qubits) and fundamental electron interactions in stongly correlated condensed matter systems from 2D to 1D systems. In addition, my research involves development of novel high frequency electronic instruments for quantum technologies in the THz frequency range, and scaling up these technologies through opto-electronic approaches. I 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 I moved to Institute Neel, CNRS, France, where I worked on Quantum Nanoelectronics and cryo-optoelectronics from 2016-2021. There, alongside Dr. C. Bauerle and Dr. J.-F. Roux I developed ultrafast cryo-optoelectronic techniques that enable the study of ultrafast quantum dynamics in solid-state systems and worked on the generation and detection of ultrafast flying qubits in semiconducting systems. I am the author of several peer-reviewed publications with 4 of them publised in Nature-family journals and I holds 3 patents on THz optoelectronic devices. I hold a prestigious Royal Society of Edinburgh Fellowship on Quantum Nanoelectronics. My research grant portfolio exceeds £1.2M, with projects being supported by UKRI EPSRC, EU EIC, RSE and University of Glasgow.
