A warm welcome to Fabio Castañeda-Vopato who is joining our group as a PhD student for the construction of the new Dysprosium lab in Innsbruck!
Fabio completed his Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science and his Master’s degree in Physics of Matter at the University of Padova, Italy. His studies focused on quantum technologies on different platforms, as he worked on transmon-based quantum sensors for the axion dark matter candidate in both his master’s thesis at INFN and during a two-month academic internship at SQMS, Fermilab in the USA.
He approached th field of dipolar quantum gases during his Erasmus semester, while working in the Quantum Fluid group of Prof. Lauriane Chomaz at Heidelberg University for a five-months internship.
