Summer School Speakers

Luca Planat, Silent Waves

  • Luca Planat owns an engineer degree (2016) from Grenoble INP Phelma and did a PhD in quantum physics between 2016 and 2020 at the Institut Néel, Grenoble, France. During his PhD, he focused on the development of wideband, near quantum-limited, microwave amplifiers. These amplifiers are key pillars for large-scale quantum processor readout since they provide very high signal noise ratio over several gigahertz bandwidth. Early 2022, Luca Planat has co-founded Silent Waves, together with his former PhD supervisor, Nicolas Roch, and Baptiste Planat.

Christian Enz, EPFL

  • Christian Enz, PhD, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), 1989. He is currently an Emeritus Professor from EPFL. Before he was Full Professor heading the IC Lab at EPFL. Until 2021 he was Director of the Institute of Microengineering and of the EPFL campus in Neuchâtel. Until April 2013 he was VP at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) in Neuchâtel, Switzerland where he was heading the Integrated and Wireless Systems Division. Prior to joining CSEM, he was Principal Senior Engineer at Conexant (formerly Rockwell Semiconductor Systems), Newport Beach, CA, where he was responsible for the modeling and characterization of MOS transistors for RF applications. His technical interests and expertise are in the field of ultralow-power analog and RF IC design, wireless sensor networks and semiconductor device modeling. Together with E. Vittoz and F. Krummenacher he is the developer of the EKV MOS transistor model and the author of the book "Charge-Based MOS Transistor Modeling - The EKV Model for Low-Power and RF IC Design" (Wiley, 2006). He is the author and co-author of more than 280 scientific papers and has contributed to numerous conference presentations and advanced engineering courses.

Christoforos Theodorou, CNRS

  • Christoforos Theodorou (Ph.D. 2013), is currently a CNRS Researcher at the CROMA laboratory, Grenoble, France. His main research focuses on the characterization, modeling and simulation of noise and variability effects in novel nano-scale devices (SOI FETs, ReRAMs, 2D, III-V..) and circuits, with a more recent interest on cryogenic electronics. He is the author/co-author of 67 journal articles, 47 commutations in International Conferences and 1 book chapter, a TPC member for the ESSERC, ULIS/EUROSOI and MOCAST conferences, and member of the steering committee in the International Conference on Noise and Fluctuations (ICNF). 

Dr. Kaveh Delfanazari, University of Glasgow

  • Dr Kaveh Delfanazari holds a Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship from the Royal Academy of Engineering and is an Associate Professor (University Senior Lecturer) of Electronic and Nanoscale Engineering at the James Watt School of Engineering and Centre for Quantum Technology, University of Glasgow (UofG), UK. Dr Delfanazari's research is broadly concentrated on developing novel software and hardware architecture (based on hybrid semiconducting, graphene, and superconducting quantum materials) for robust quantum computing, quantum information, quantum communication, and green energy.
