This fall, we welcomed five new members to the group!

First, two postdoctoral fellows joined the team. The first one, Manuel Munoz-Arias, originally from Colombia, completed his M.Sc.. and Ph.D. at the University of New Mexico and the Center for Quantum Information and Control (CQuIC). The second, Alexander McDonald, a native of Ottawa, Canada, comes from the University of Chicago, where he completed his PhD. Prior to that, he completed his master’s degree at McGill University in Montreal.

Next, Othmane Benhayoune-Khadraoui, originally from Morocco, joined the team to start his PhD, after completing his master’s degree at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL).

Finally, two new students from Quebec are starting their master’s degree within the group. Marie-Frédérique Dumas completed her bachelor’s degree in engineering physics at Polytechnique Montréal, while Benjamin Groleau-Paré completed his undergraduate degree in physics at the Université de Sherbrooke.

Welcome to the group!

We are thrilled to have Lautaro Labarca Guardo join the group, arriving from Santiago, Chile. During his Undergraduate studies in Energy Engineering at Universidad de León, Spain, Lautaro focused his Thesis work on biochemical fuel cells as a member of Dr. Antonio Morán’s lab. He completed his Master’s in Physics at Universidad de Santiago de Chile, during which his Thesis focused on the out of equilibrium dynamics of a Spin-1 chain. Now at the Institut quantique, Lautaro will pursue his doctoral work on circuit quantization and qubit engineering.
