I completed my Master's thesis at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, from 2019 to 2020, focusing on the fabrication and inverse design of terahertz metamaterials. From 2021 to 2024, I worked at the Institute for Functional Matter and Quantum Technologies (FMQ) in the field of integrated quantum technologies. Since February 2024, I have been working at the Institute of Electrical and Optical Communications (INT) as part of the graduate program 'Towards Graduate Experts in Photonic Quantum Technologies' in the field of integrated photonics.
