Research Interests
Mesoscopic physics, Quantum thermodynamics, Quantum transport, Quantum information, Quantum dynamics
I am a theoretical physicist, expert in quantum thermodynamics and quantum transport in nanoscale devices. After a PhD in Geneva and several post-doctoral stays in Berlin and Grenoble, I was awarded a prestigious PRIMA grant from the SNSF from 2018 to 2023. My research focuses on understanding how quantum coherent effects and quantum correlations can be exploited in out-of-equilibirum quantum systems towards energy harvesting, heat management and quantum information processing.
