Research interests and activities

My research is generally focused on leveraging photonic integration to deliver compact and scalable devices for a wide range of quantum applications. I have a strong background in the development of waveguide-coupled homodyne detectors and I am interested in their monolithic integration with other components, like quantum light sources, fast-switching interferometers and high-speed electronics. The aim is to boost the scale of what continuous-variable quantum photonics can do to solve a variety of problems related to sensing, computing and secure communication.
