Dr. Chunlin is a Research Associate in the Quantum Circuits Group at the University of Glasgow, working on the fabrication of superconducting qubits for quantum computing. His research focuses on developing niobium trilayer qubits to improve qubit stability, coherence, and scalability. By addressing the limitations of traditional aluminum-based devices, this work contributes to the development of practical quantum processors with applications in drug discovery, energy management, artificial intelligence, and secure communications.
He completed his PhD in Electronic and Electrical Engineering at University of Glasgow in 2024, where he pioneered the first thermal Al2O3 based normally-off MOSFETs on hydrogen-terminated diamond. Previously, he completed a Master’s degree focused on developing a catalytic hydrogen spillover method for diamond surface termination, and a Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Science and Technology.
Beyond his degree, Dr. Chunlin has contributed to multiple EPSRC- and UKRI-funded projects, including research on InSb mid-infrared sensors and superconducting quantum circuits. He is highly skilled in nanofabrication and characterization techniques and has presented his work at international conferences through both oral and poster contributions.
