Mohsen Bahrami Panah is part of the Superconducting Circuits team of the ETH Zurich - PSI Quantum Computing Hub. He will join the Quantum Device Lab as a Technical Expert specialized in device micro- and nano-fabrication in September 2021.
Thomas Havy is part of the Superconducting Circuits team of the ETH Zurich - PSI Quantum Computing Hub. He joined the Quantum Device Lab in May 2021 as a software engineer. Prior to joining our group, Thomas obtained a bachelor's and master's degree in Microengineering from EPFL.
Bruno joined the Quantum Device Lab in March 2015 for a joint CTI project between Zurich Instruments, ZHAW Winterthur and ETH Zurich. Bruno completed his PhD in the group of Prof. Klaus Ensslin at ETH Zurich in 2012. He then moved to the group of Prof. Olivier Buisson and Wiebke Guichard at the Institut Néel, Grenoble. After finishing the CTI project in May 2017 he is now working for Zurich Instruments.
Josua Schär finished his semester project within the ETH Zürich Bachelor's program (BSc ETH Physics) in spring 2017 in our group. Afterwards he conducted a master thesis project within the ETH Zurich Master program (MSc ETH Physics) in our group. Currently he is supporting us with his technical expertise.
R&D Engineer/Project Manager. Janis Lütolf joined the Quantum Device Lab in December 2010 after having completed an apprenticeship as Physics Laboratory Assistant at Kistler Instrumente AG in Winterthur. In 2015 he received a Bachelor's degree of Science ZFH in mechanical engineering from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW). Since October 2015 Janis has been leading the Technical Staff of the Quantum Device Lab. He is also supervising ETH apprentices.
Martin Göppl rejoined our lab in September 2016 to work on the realization of 3D integrated circuit-QED systems after having been a PhD student with us from April 2006 to May 2009. Before that, he had obtained a Diploma degree in Physics from TU Munich, Germany. After finishing his PhD, Martin started to work for the company Sensirion.
Mihai Gabureac joined our group in August 2017. He is an expert in cleanroom micro- and nano-fabrication with experience in thin film vacuum deposition, selective etching, Ar milling, photo- and e-beam-lithography, as well as advanced surface and structural characterization and metrology. He has worked previously with hybrid magnetic-superconducting tunnel junctions and has developed processes for the oxidation/growth of Alox and MgO tunnel junction barriers using feedback from magnetic devices.
Abdulkadir Akin joined our group as a postdoc in October 2016. The focus of his research is on the design and implementation of very-high-speed and efficient FPGA-based systems to achieve real-time quantum information processing. Kadir obtained his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering in May 2015 from EPFL, Switzerland, and stayed there as a postdoc in the Microelectronic Systems Laboratory, before joining our group. During his time at EPFL, Kadir developed several real-time FPGA-based multiple-camera systems for advanced video-processing applications.
Philipp Kurpiers joined the Quantum Device Lab for his master's thesis in September 2012. He then continued as a PhD student to investigate quantum networks with superconducting circuits. After defending his PhD thesis in July 2019 he worked with us as a scientist on developing cryogenic systems for quantum networks applications until March 2020. After leaving our group he started to work at Rohde & Schwarz in Munich.
