I am a Junior Group Leader working in experimental quantum optics, with a focus on photonic quantum technologies and coherent control. My research aims to develop fast, scalable, and robust quantum systems for applications in sensing, communication, and information processing.
I have extensive experience in designing and realizing complex optical experiments, ranging from the generation of non-classical light to high-bandwidth control of quantum systems. A central aspect of my work is translating fundamental concepts into practical experimental implementations.
I strongly value clear scientific communication, structured research workflows, and a collaborative working environment. My goal is to build a research group that combines scientific excellence with openness, creativity, and mutual respect.

My research lies at the intersection of quantum optics, coherent control, and photonic quantum technologies. I aim to develop experimental platforms that enable ultra-fast, scalable, and noise-resilient quantum information processing.
My work focuses on the generation and control of non-classical states of light and on exploiting coherent control techniques to push quantum systems beyond current performance and bandwidth limitations. A key motivation is to use photonic architectures to overcome fundamental bottlenecks in speed, scalability, and stability.
By combining quantum optics with high-bandwidth optical and electronic control, I explore new regimes of quantum-enhanced sensing, communication, and computation.
My research background is rooted in experimental quantum optics, with a strong focus on the generation, control, and application of non-classical states of light. During my PhD and postdoctoral research, I worked on a range of experiments addressing quantum noise reduction, coherent control, and precision measurements.
A central part of my previous work was the development and characterization of squeezed and entangled optical states, as well as their application to quantum-enhanced metrology. This included the design and implementation of optical setups, stabilization and control of optical cavities, and the development of high-bandwidth control and readout schemes.
Through my work in international research environments, I gained extensive experience in building complex experimental systems from the ground up, leading experiments independently, and translating theoretical concepts into practical implementations. My research has resulted in multiple peer-reviewed publications and contributions to international collaborations.
This background forms the foundation of my current research direction, which aims to advance photonic quantum technologies by combining coherent control, high-bandwidth techniques, and scalable experimental platforms.
