Biography
I studied Mathematics and Physics concurrently at RWTH Aachen University. My first research project leading to a publication involved studying the computational power of certain quantum mechanical systems. The result was included in "IOP Journal of Physics A: Highlights of 2014 Selection."
Upon completion my PhD in 2017, I was awarded the UCLQ Postdoctoral Fellowship in Quantum Technologies. I deferred the Fellowship for a year to work full-time for PsiQ, a Silicon Valley based start-up building a general-purpose silicon photonic quantum computer.
