About Me

Summary

From an early age I knew that physics was the field for me. After obtaining my bachelors in Applied physics at the Technical University of Delft, I continued on to my Masters. During my thesis at Qutech I researched the topological properties of Majorana devices. Now I work for Delft Circuits as head of research where I lead a team of engineers to shape the quantum wiring revolution. My fields of interest are quantum nanoscience, quantum computation, quantum physics, nano-fabrication and scientific computing.

At Delft Circuits, I spend my time analyzing and improving the production process of micro-strip and strip-line devices with regards to yield, turnover rate and human interaction.

Master's Thesis in Topological properties of Majorana Devices

QuTech
September 2017 - May 2018 (9 months)
Delft Area, Netherlands

Majorana qubits theoretically have exponential protection from external errors. This would mean that these are a candidate for fault-resistant quantum computation. In this thesis I design, fabricate and perform measurements on selective area growth InSb nanowires with epitaxial Al. We perform several measurements to extract parameters such as phase coherent length, mobility, electron density, g-factor, superconducting gap and critical magnetic field. These parameters need to meet certain requirements for this platform to be feasible for Majorana qubits.
