I have been studying electronic properties of semiconductor devices using transport measurement since 1996 when I started my PhD at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées in Toulouse (France) to work on III-V quantum wire superlattices. I then joined the Semiconductor Physics Group at the Cavendish Laboratory in 2001 with the aim of implementing quantum computation in silicon Metal-Oxide-Semiconductors Field Effect Transistors. I then moved to the Microelectronics Group to study the properties of Silicon Single Electron Transistors using high bandwidth techniques and microwave irradiation. In 2006, I finally joined the Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory to work on Quantum computation scheme using charge qubit states in a silicon double dot system.

Here are some details about my research :
