Areas of expertise I'm interested in fundamental and technological aspects of quantum information and my research goal is the development and test of photonics circuits for quantum computing which ultimately will be the building blocks of a quantum computer. The innovative part of my research is the use of integrated waveguides to miniaturise the circuits.

I collaborate with world-class experts on multidisciplinary projects to develop efficient quantum simulators for physical, biological and chemical systems.
