I am a Senior Advisor in the Innovation Lab at SURF. As a quantum network expert, researcher, architect, and developer I lead SURF’s quantum network project portfolio including contributions to the CAT 2: Quantum network programme led by Quantum Delta NL and the Quantum Internet Alliance funded by the European Union’s Quantum Flagship programme.
I did my MSci in Theoretical Quantum Physics at the University of Cambridge and my PhD in Atomic and Laser Physics at the University of Oxford. After graduating from Oxford I decided to change track and I worked as a software engineer in the network software team at Metaswitch. This has placed me in the unusual position of having experience in both computer networking and quantum physics which is how I ended up at QuTech. I now work on bringing quantum networks into the real world at SURF.
