About me

I currently serve the EPFL community on Education, Research, and Innovation in Quantum, as the executive director of the Quantum Science and Engineering Center. In my previous role (2017-2022) I worked as a principal research manager at Microsoft Quantum, working on growing quantum material crystals. My technical background lies in compound semiconductor nanotechnology, epitaxy and quantum materials, with academic research roles at Lund University, CNRS in France, Cardiff University, and the Australian National University.
