Postdocs

Mintu was a PostDoc in our group from April 2013 to March 2016. He obtained his PhD at Tata Institute of fundamental research in Mumbai, India. After leaving our group Mintu joined at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore USA, Group Prof. Peter Armitage, as a Research Staff Member in working on THz and infrared spectroscopy of topological insulators and other strongly correlated electron systems.

worked as a PostDoc with us between 2007- 2009, on superconducting circuits and circuit quantum electrodynamics, with an EU Marie Curie Fellowship between 2007-2008. From 2010 he joined the Nanophysics Group of Prof. Klaus Ensslin at ETH Zurich.  In 2011 Peter became an EPSRC Career Acceleration Fellow at the Department of Physics at Oxford University. More information can also be found on the webpage of the Leek Lab.

Tobias first joined our group in fall 2007 as a semester thesis student. He then accomplished a master’s thesis at the Nanophysics group of Prof. Klaus Ensslin. After finishing his PhD Thesis in February 2013, which was jointly supervised by Prof. Klaus Ensslin and Prof. Andreas Wallraff, Tobias contiued as a Post Doc until July 2013.

first joined our group as an Erasmus Fellow. After receiving a Master's degree in physics from the Univ. of Vienna, he conducted a PhD thesis in our lab for which he was awarded an ETH Medal in 2010. After a PostDoc in our group he became an IQIM Postdoctoral Scholar and a senior staff scientist in the Painter group at Caltech, USA.

Stefan Filipp was a PostDoc at the Quantum Device Lab from January 2008 to May 2014. After leaving our group he joined IBM T. J. Watson Research Center as a Research Staff Member in Experimental Quantum Computing. Since May 2020 he holds a position as Full Professor (Chair) in Physics at TU Munich and as Director of WMI of the BAdW.

was a PostDoc at the Quantum Device Lab from March 2010 to December 2012. After leaving QuDev Arkady was appointed as a Senior Lecturer at the University of Queensland, Australia and is Chief Investigator of the SQD Lab.

Arkady received his PhD in 2005 from Clarkson University, US.  He joined the group of Prof. Gerd Schoen at the University of Karlsruhe as a PostDoc in 2006, working on a theory of superconducting qubits. He transferred to TU Delft in 2007, working with Prof. Hans Mooij and his group on conducted experiments with the flux qubit.

was a PostDoc with us from Sept. 2006 to Aug. 2007. After leaving the Quantum Device Lab Parisa was as a PostDoc in the Quantum Photonics Group of Prof. Atac Imamoglu at ETH Zurich. Parisa holds a PhD in Applied Physics from Harvard University, Cambridge, MA and a B.S. in Physics from Imperial College, London, U.K.

Matthias joined our group as a Master-thesis student. He then carried out a PhD thesis in our group and continued to work with us as a PostDoc. In October 2012 Matthias moved on to the new group of Arkady Fedorov at the University of Queensland, Australia.

Milan worked with us for two years between October 2012 and October 2014. After leaving the Quantum Device lab he moved to Leiden as Assistant Professor to build up the Allan lab.

Milan's research focused on strongly correlated electrons and unconventional superconductivity. To understand the emergence of these phases, he visualized the electronic structure of exotic materials in real and momentum space with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (St Andrews) and spectroscopic imaging STM (Cornell).

Farruh worked with us as a PostDoc from October 2010 to August 2015. Previously he carried out a PhD thesis in the group of Prof. Alexey Ustinov at the University of Erlangen, Germany, that he completed in 2004. He continued there as a postdoctoral researcher until 2006, then he moved to Prof. Tsai's group at RIKEN, Japan.
