Master’s Intern

As an advanced postdoctoral researcher at the Photonics Research Group (PRG), UGent-imec, I am dedicated to pioneering solutions in integrated silicon photonics, with a special focus on quantum state generation and control using novel quantum squeezers. My work joins theoretical innovation and hands-on experimentation to address key challenges associated with photonic device performance, including low-noise operation and robust quantum correlations. Integrated quantum photonics is recognized as a foundational technology for future quantum computation, secure communication, and next-generation sensing systems—a multidisciplinary field at the intersection of physics, engineering, and information science. My research uniquely bridges quantum control theory with integrated silicon photonics: through theoretical innovation and device engineering, I bring quantum-inspired robustness and tunable functionalities to chip-scale systems, advancing scalable, high-performance quantum photonic circuits. Across both postdoctoral and doctoral research, I have developed expertise spanning quantum and nonlinear optics, computational design, and practical device realization—supported by international collaborations and cutting-edge software tools. Motivated by the potential of quantum technologies to revolutionize information processing, communications, and sensing, my goal is to bridge foundational research and real-world application, driving the next generation of integrated photonic systems.
