Research Interests

Mesoscopic physics, Quantum thermodynamics, Quantum transport, Quantum information, Quantum dynamics

 

 I am a theoretical physicist, expert in quantum thermodynamics and quantum transport in nanoscale devices. After a PhD in Geneva and several post-doctoral stays in Berlin and Grenoble, I received in 2018 a PRIMA grant from the SNSF and got promoted as FNS PRIMA Assistant Professor in June 2021. My research focuses on understanding how quantum coherent effects and quantum correlations can be exploited in out-of-equilibirum quantum systems towards energy harvesting, heat management and quantum information processing.

 

A science school for master and PhD students that I co-organize with colleagues at Unige & EPFL:
