Technical Staff

Technician with focus on cryogenics. Reto Schlatter rejoined the Quantum Device Lab in April 2020. From November 2017 until July 2018 he worked as part of his apprenticeship as a Physics Laboratory Assistant in our group and continued to work with us until the end of 2018. After this he spent time doing his swiss military duties and furthermore he gained some experience working at Ionplus AG.

Niti Kohli joined the Quantum Device Lab in October 2019 as part of the project teams working on SuperQuNet and OpenSuperQ. After graduation in 2015 with a Bachelor's degree of Science ZFH in mechanical engineering from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) Niti started his career as Mechanical Engineer for the company P3 group AG in Schwerzenbach.

Lab responsible and technician with focus on mechanics and cryogenics. Alain Fauquex joined the Quantum Device Lab in April of 2019 after previously working at SKH Schonert AG as a design engineer. There he has gathered experience in the design of chemical instruments, complex transmissions and robotics. Before that he has worked for Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. - also as a design engineer - where he was part of the fuselage and rear fuselage team of the Pilatus PC-24. Besides his employment at QuDev, he is currently attending the "Aargauische Maturitätsschule für Erwachsene (AME)."

Adrian joined the Quantum Device Lab from February to June 2016 as technician for the EU project Superconducting Quantum Networks (SuperQuNet). He received a Bachelor's degree of Science ZFH in mechanical engineering from the Zürcher Hochschule ZHAW in July 2015.

Tobias joined the Quantum Device Lab in July 2015 after completing an apprenticeship as a physics laboratory assistant with Kistler Instrumente AG, Winterthur. After leaving QuDev Tobias started to study physics at ETH Zurich.

Hansruedi came to ETH more than 40 years ago as a young technician, with the intention to move on the next year. However, different from his original plan he enjoyed the environment at ETH, in particular the collaboration with highly motivated students and professors, so much that he continued working at the Physics Department until his retirement in 2008. Even after his retirement he carried on to support the activities of our group with his great experience on a part-time basis until March 2013.

Raphael Keller will be part of the Superconducting Circuits team of the ETH Zurich - PSI Quantum Computing Hub. He will join the Quantum Device Lab in August 2021 after he worked for the Quantum Device Lab from 2016 to 2018. Previously he completed an apprenticeship as a polymechanic a part-time continuing education in mechatronics and systems engineering. Between 2018 and 2021 Raphael has worked for Santex Rimar Group as a design engineer.

Melvin Frey joined the Quantum Device Lab in April 2015 after having completed an apprenticeship as a polymechanics at Bruker BioSpin AG. In 2018 he finished his part-time continuing education as a mechanical engineer. He left our group in September 2019.
