I am an Assistant Professor in Digital Twinning at the University of Birmingham (UK), where I am leading a world-class research and innovation activity in the field of theory, modelling and simulation for quantum systems and devices.

Formed both as a theoretical quantum physicist and an engineer graduated from the Ecole Polytechnique (Paris), I obtained my PhD in 2014 in Alain Aspect’s group at the Institut d’Optique (Paris), working on disordered many-body ultracold quantum gases.

In 2019, eager to transpose my fundamental expertise to the development of quantum technologies, I established my activities at the University of Birmingham, within the UK National Quantum Hub for Sensing and Timing, where I have led since then a theory, modelling and simulation workforce underpinning the development of cold-atom-based quantum sensors.

Now a dynamic and well-anchored team in the UK quantum technology landscape, we are developing fundamental research on quantum systems and building digital twins of quantum devices, collaborating with quantum physicists, engineers and key industrial partners to accelerate the uptake of the most disruptive ideas from quantum theory in real-life practical applications.
