People
The core staff within Bristol’s QECDT have been hand-picked for their research excellence as well as their ability to communicate that knowledge to others in a practical setting.
The management team
-
Dr Jorge Barreto
CDT Director
With a background in physics, Dr. Barreto has a broad experience in silicon fabrication technologies, and more recently systems integration. His work aims to establish the feasibility limits of quantum platforms using currently available technologies. -
Dr Dara McCutcheon
Lecturer in Quantum Engineering
Dr Dara McCutcheon is a theoretical physicist specialising in open quantum systems and the quantum optics of solid-state and molecular emitters in photonic structures. His research aims to design and develop sources of non-classical light for uses in photonic quantum information applications. -
Dr Jon Pugh
Lecturer in Quantum Engineering
Dr Pugh has a background in both Physics and Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He brings considerable experience in photonic simulation and nanophotonic device design. His research interests include the design and fabrication of photonic devices in III-Nitride semiconductors, and microfluidic based devices that utilise fluorescence for disease detection and diagnostics. -
Dr Andrew Collins
Industry Engagement Manager
Dr Collins is experienced at working between industry and academia has a scientific background in nanoscience. He is involved in the development and training of quantum engineering start-ups through the QTEC programme and the Quantum Technology Innovation Centre. He is also a visiting professor at the Nagaoka University of Technology, Japan and a Catapult Connected Places Business Fellow. -
Sorrel Johnson
CDT Manager
Sorrel comes to the CDT from the Student Funding office where she has managed postgraduate funding for the University for 15 years. After obtaining her degree, she spent 5 years living in London before returning to her home city of Bristol. -
Lin Burden
Postgraduate Administrator
Lin provides administrative support for the Centre's students and staff as well as being first port of call for enquiries. Lin is also Executive Assistant to Professor Mark Thompson.
