    • Physicist and Electrical Engineer - Simulation of Semiconductor Nanodevices
      • Feb 2018 - Present

      I assist industry and research centers in five continents to boost their nanodevice simulations using nextnano. From LEDs and LASERs, to diode and transistors our portfolio is continuously increasing in order to fulfill the needs of the market. Visiting the most important events of the MBE and MOCVD community I stay tuned to the state-of-art of the nanostructures in progress, and prospect new opportunities to actively contribute with our customers in the development of innovative devices. I am part of the UltraFastNano, that it is part of the EU HORIZON 2020 programme, that aims to develop electronic generation and detection in nanoelectronic devices at the picosecond scale. Our main goal is to implement the first electronic flying quantum bit, opening new possibilities within the field of quantum computing and quantum communication.
