After obtaining a Ph.D. in the field of circuit quantum electrodynamics at ETH Zurich, he moved on to study mechanical and optical quantum devices at the California Institute of Technology. At IST Austria he works on integrating superconducting qubit technology with on-chip acoustic and photonic degrees of freedom. His goal is to study quantum devices in new parameter regimes and explore their potential applications in computation, communication and sensing. More info onhttp://www.quantumids.com
