About me
I am an Experimental Quantum Physicist and a Research Software Developer. My research focuses on quantum computer networks. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Scientist at the AWS Center for Quantum Networking. We are developing new hardware, software, and applications for quantum networks. Previously, I obtained my PhD in the group of Prof. Ronald Hanson, realizing the world’s first entanglement-based quantum network.

Experience
Postdoctoral Scientist
The AWS Center for Quantum Networking develops new hardware, software, and applications for quantum networks.
Postdoctoral Researcher
In the group of Prof. Hannes Bernien, I worked on a quantum network node that operates at telecom wavelength based on neutral atoms and nanophotonic cavities. I have developed several open-source software packages for experimental control, which can be found in the Projects section.
Postdoctoral Researcher
In the group of Prof. Ronald Hanson, I improved the capabilities of the physical layer of our quantum network stack to control multiple qubits, as well as upgraded one of the NV center quantum network nodes for future experiments. Additionally, I led initial efforts for collaborations with quantum start-ups for custom hardware and software development.
PhD Candidate
Under the supervision of Prof. Ronald Hanson, I realized the world’s first multi-node quantum network and demonstrated the delivery of entanglement using a platform-independent quantum network stack. I was one of the 15 Early Stage Researchers in the Spin-NANO European Innovative Training Network funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. I supervised MSc and BSc students in their final projects in the Hanson group.
