Über mich
Scientist with a passion for light and a background in photonics, electrical engineering and information technology. Hands-on optical system development from prototyping to integration, from large experimental quantum optics setups to smartphone-based systems. PhD work on hybrid systems of 2D nanomaterials and quantum emitters for single photon source control, including building a low-temperature optical setup, developing optical measurement techniques and novel nanofabrication methods. Demonstrated technical creativity in creating a patent-pending imaging technology, successfully raising funds and building a team to develop it and lead its commercialisation. Strong multilingual oral and written communication skills in scientific publishing and presentation, outreach and communicating to non-expert audiences.
