Francesco Gaudio

I was born in Rome, where I obtained my BSc in Electronic Engineering from Sapienza University. My thesis focused on developing a novel method to dynamically reconfigure the resonant frequency of a 5G antenna. During my bachelor's degree, I got admitted to an honours programme, called excellence program, that consisted in research-oriented extracurricular activities and included a scholarship. Moreover, I was a member of a student team working on building a UAV for a competition, and I was a student representative at my faculty. In 2022, I won the local round of the European BEST Engineering Competition, and placed third in the National round. My interest in quantum technologies began the last year of high school, when I first was introduced to quantum physics. Several courses taken during my bachelor's degree further consolidated my interest towards taking part and contributing to the development of effective quantum technologies. Now, I am pursuing a master's degree in Quantum Engineering at ETH Zürich.
