WINQ Postdoctoral fellow at Nordic Institute of Theoretical Physics

My area of research is at the boundary of condensed matter physics and quantum information. I specialized in quantum nanoelectronic and superconducting heterostructures, where superconductive materials are combined with semiconductors and magnets to generate and control new behaviors not found in nature.
