Experience

  1. Junior Research Group Leader, Photonic Quantum Control

    Friedrich Schiller University Jena
    Principal Investigator of the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung-funded junior research group Photonic Quantum Control within QPhoton. The €700,000 funding supports the group leader position and initial group setup for an independent research programme in coherent control, high-bandwidth photonic systems, and quantum-enhanced measurement.
  2. Postdoctoral Researcher

    DTU – Technical University of Denmark
    Developed advanced optical systems and precision-measurement techniques for research in quantum optics and quantum information science.
  3. Postdoctoral Researcher

    The Australian National University
    Developed squeezed-light sources and quantum-enhanced measurement techniques for gravitational-wave detectors at the Centre for Gravitational Astrophysics.
  4. Postdoctoral Fellow

    Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute)
    Conducted postdoctoral research in experimental quantum optics and quantum metrology following completion of the PhD.
  5. Research Assistant / Doctoral Researcher

    Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute)
    Designed and led experiments on tailored squeezed and entangled states of light, quantum metrology, high-bandwidth readout, and optical interferometry.
