Principal investigator

Jukka Vayrynen

Jukka got his PhD in physics at Yale University in 2017 working on topics related to topological insulators and superconductors. After Yale, Jukka spent 3 years working on topological quantum computation as a post-doctoral researcher at the Microsoft Quantum group in the University of California Santa Barbara. Jukka is originally from Finland where he did his BSc and MSc studies in theoretical physics in the Universities of Oulu (2009) and Helsinki (2011), respectively.

Tatiana de Picoli Ferreira

Tatiana is a 2nd year PhD student and a Ross fellow at Purdue University. She is from Brazil, where she did her BSc at the University of São Paulo (2017) and MSc at the State University of Campinas (2020). She is highly interested in the interplay between condensed matter and quantum information. Before joining Purdue, she worked on the analytical description of superconductors and dissipative effects in superfluids.

Zhibo Ren

Zhibo is a 2nd year PhD student in Physics. He got his BSc at Wuhan University (2020). He is interested in condensed matter theory, especially topological states. Zhibo is currently working on problems related to vortices in superconductors.

Undergraduate students

Justin Copenhaver

Justin is a senior undergraduate student majoring in physics and mathematics. Throughout his studies he has been involved in research in the fields of condensed matter physics and quantum information; his current research with the group is focused on studying the quantum transport properties of topological insulators. After graduation he plans to pursue a PhD in physics focused on the application of condensed matter topics to quantum computing. Justin’s 2021-22 AY research with the group is sponsored by Purdue’s Office of Undergraduate Research.
