About me

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Chair for Design Automation (CDA) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and a Senior Quantum Software Engineer at MQSC. My research interests include design automation for computational nanotechnologies, quantum computing, logic synthesis, physical design, algorithmics, and formal methods.

I work towards closing the design gap between Field-coupled Nanocomputing (FCN) circuits and classical CMOS technologies. As a promising class of post-CMOS devices, FCN technologies like Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) and Silicon Dangling Bonds (SiDBs) allow for ultra-high processing performance and, at the same time, tremendously low power dissipation. In recent years, particularly SiDBs have seen major breakthroughs in their fabrication capabilities.

For my experiments, proof-of-concept implementations in the FCN domain, and as a basis for future research, I have developed the open-source fiction framework, which I maintain. It is now part of the Munich Nanotech Toolkit (MNT).

To bring the logic synthesis and machine learning domains together, I started aigverse, an infrastructure project that offers a Python wrapper around high-performance C/C++ logic synthesis suites with ML pipeline integration.

Furthermore, I have experience in Silicon Photonics, Superconducting Quantum Physical Design, Reversible Logic, Microfluidic Biochips, and DNA Computing.

I am available for training and consulting.

In my free time, I work out, do yoga, go dancing, and practice trail running, I travel the world and try to take decent looking digital photographs. I love excellent stories and science fact as well as science fiction.
