2015/16 Cohort

• ‌‌Geraint Gough

  Development of a multiplexed source in compound semiconductors
  Geraint graduated from Swansea University in 2012 with a first class MPhys in Physics. His final project was investigating magnetic monopoles as soliton solutions in different theories and attempting to find numerical solutions to some of these theories. He is interested in developing quantum algorithms and working with integrated photonic chips to realise these algorithms. In his spare time, Geraint plays rugby and enjoys playing electric and bass guitar.

• Martin Nicolle

  Realisation of an atom frequency comb quantum memory in diamond
  ‌Martin studied Physics at Imperial College London, graduating in 2015 with first class MSci degree. Having come from France to study in the UK originally out of an interest in Laser Science, he gradually saw his interests shift slowly to light-matter interaction in general, and in particular within the context of Quantum Technologies. Martin enjoyed his Master's project under Dr Florian Mintert, working on the optimal control of atomic three-level lambda systems. His interests are focused around the coherent control of quantum systems, and the interactions between photons and matter qubits. On the side, he enjoys playing table tennis and the piano, and a never-ending search for good food.
