Amir Youssefi at EPFL’s Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements has won the 2023 Swiss Nanotechnology PhD award for his work on optomechanics.
The Swiss Nanotechnology PhD award is given every year by the Swiss Micro- and Nanotechnology Network. The Network offers five prizes of 2’000 CHF each “for excellent scientific first-author publications in the field of Nanotechnology and Nanoscience published by PhD students”.
Among the winners of the 2022/2023 award is Amir Youssefi, a PhD candidate at EPFL’s Laboratory of Photonic Integrated Circuits and Quantum Measurements (LPQM). Youssefi has won the Swiss Nanotechnology PhD award for his pioneering work on the realization of topological lattices in superconducting circuit optomechanics.
“I would like to thank my colleagues in LPQM and my PhD advisor, Professor Tobias Kippenberg, for the great teamwork and support, as well as the EPFL Center of Micro-Nano Technology for providing the perfect infrastructure to conduct such research projects,” says Youssefi.
The award was announced on June 16, 2023 during the Swiss micro- and nanotechnology network annual convention in Neuchâtel.
