KSKM Coffee & Cake Events provide the opportunity for PhD students to interact with distinguished alumni in an informal format and setting; PI’s are not present.

About Lukas:

Lukas was raised in a small town north of Karlsruhe, but moved to the 'big' city to study physics. He graduated from KIT with a Master's thesis about 3D transmon qubits in 2016. Afterwards he joined Prof. Dr. Ioan M. Pop's Black Forest Quantum Lab (BFQ) at KIT to continue working on superconducting quantum circuits with a focus on harnessing the kinetic inductance and intrinsic non-linearity of granular aluminum (grAl). In 2019 he defended his PhD thesis about granular aluminum superinductors. Following graduation Lukas joined the lab of Professor Leo P. Kouwenhoven at QuTech (TU Delft, Netherlands) to build on his background in cQED and add the intricacies of semiconductor-superconductor Josephson junctions into the mix. Since 2022 Lukas is part of the quantum electronics department at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Braunschweig and heads the coherent superconducting quantum circuits group since 08/2022.
