Academic Councillor - Head of Laboratories and Scientific Infrastructure
33098 Paderborn

12/2021 - today | Head of Laboratories and Scientific Infrastructure In the international "Photonic Quantum Systems Laboratory" (PhoQS Lab), scientists from experimental and theoretical physics, electrical engineering, computer science and mathematics work together in a building with the most modern technological infrastructure, in order to develop technology for photon-based quantum applications as well as in the theoretical and experimental concept development of a scalable quantum photonics fundamentally oriented new research approaches. The research building provides the necessary infrastructure for this. State-of-the-art micro and nano technology processes enable the realization of miniaturized, integrated optical quantum circuits and quantum components. Manufacturing and characterization techniques are set up, further developed and made "quantum-capable"; high-quality quantum optics laboratories support the exploration of fundamental physical limits of quantum mechanics. |
04/2021 - today | Member of the Transregional Collaborative Research Center TRR 142- Tailored Nonlinear Photonics: From Fundamental Concepts to Functional Structures The central goal of the TRR 142 is the establishment of a new kind of tailored nonlinear photonics, which is driven by concepts from quantum optics, coherent optics, ultrafast optoelectronics, and solid state physics. |
04/2019 - 12/2022 | Group leader "Technology" in IQO group The "Technology" group is part of the Integrated Quantum Optics group led by Christine Silberhorn. We focus on the fabrication of quantum optical components based on ferroelectric materials such as lithium niobate, thin-film lithium niobate or potassium titanyl phosphate. A wide variety of (electro-) optical components are combined on one system and form the basis for our quantum optical experiments. |
11/2013 - 03/2019 | Doctoral thesis Periodically Poled Waveguides in Potassium Titanyl Phosphate: From Technology Development to Applications |
10/2014 - 03/2017 | Member of the Research Training Group "Micro and Nanostructures in Optoelectronics and Photonics" In the “Center of Optoelectronics and Photonics Paderborn” (CeOPP), physicists, chemists, and electrical engineers work together to study both fundamental and application-oriented topics. For this work, they have access to excellent laboratories and clean rooms. The research work in the field of optical technologies was supported by the DFG from 2008 to 2017 through the Research Training Group GRK 1464 “Micro and Nanostructures in Optoelectronics and Photonics”. |
10/2011 - 10/2013 | M.Sc. in Physics Periodically Poled Waveguides in Potassium Titanyl Phosphate for Applications in Quantum Optics |
10/2008 - 09/2011 | B.Sc. in Physics Untersuchung der Polungseigenschaften von oberflächennah Ti-diffusionsdotiertem, kongruentem Lithiumniobat |
