Manuel is a PhD Candidate at EPFL in the group of Prof. Zoë Holmes, where he focuses on the numerical simulation of quantum computers. Together with his collaborators, he studies which properties make quantum circuits easy or hard to simulate classically, and how efficient classical simulability is connected to the barren plateau phenomenon. Manuel develops high-performance quantum simulation software and is
Alexey TikanI obtained my undergraduate degree in the framework of a joint program between Novosibirsk State University and École Polytechnique Paris and later completed PhD in the group of Prof. Pierre Suret and Prof. Stéphane Randoux at Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers, Atomes et Molécules (Lille, France). My research subject was related to the novel field of Integrable Turbulence that studies the dynamics of random waves in integrable nonlinear models. Experimentally, I have contributed to the development of a tool for single-shot detection of ultrafast optical fields which is considered until today to be the state-of-the-art. Upon joining the Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements at EPFL, I contribute to a project dedicated to the study of lattices of strongly coupled high-Q optical resonators.

Sangwoo KimSangwoo Kim is set to join EPFL as a Tenure Track Assistant Professor in September 2023. Prior to his appointment at EPFL, he served as a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He earned his graduate degree in Theoretical and Applied Mechanics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where his research delved into the relationships between statistics, geometry, and mechanical states in cellular matters. Currently, his research focus on fundamental understanding of biological and living systems, as well as the study of soft and active matter employing principles from mechanics and physics. His research interests encompass embryonic development, tissue morphogenesis, structure and mechanics of soft materials, inherent structure of amorphous materials, and non-equilibrium dynamics of active matter.
