We are thrilled to have Lautaro Labarca Guardo join the group, arriving from Santiago, Chile. During his Undergraduate studies in Energy Engineering at Universidad de León, Spain, Lautaro focused his Thesis work on biochemical fuel cells as a member of Dr. Antonio Morán’s lab. He completed his Master’s in Physics at Universidad de Santiago de Chile, during which his Thesis focused on the out of equilibrium dynamics of a Spin-1 chain. Now at the Institut quantique, Lautaro will pursue his doctoral work on circuit quantization and qubit engineering.
