Munich, Bavaria, Germany
I am a PhD researcher at the Walter Schottky Institute, Technical University of Munich, specializing in semiconductor quantum dot molecules to advance quantum computing and communication. My work has resulted in 10+ publications and presentations at international conferences, demonstrating both the impact and reach of my research. Beyond the lab, I enjoy building and leading research efforts: coordinating international collaborations, mentoring three master’s students, and structuring complex projects from idea to result. I am passionate about applying my technical expertise and organizational experience to research, innovation, and projects that push boundaries. I’m always looking for ways to create meaningful impact!
