MEISSA DIOUF

•Quantum Logic and Ion Manipulation: Conducted advanced research on a trapped ion system, executing quantum logic operations with single ion pairs. Controlled and managed 11 lasers, ranging from UV to IR, including both CW and pulsed lasers.

•Laser System Management: Implemented complex, multi-wavelength laser control systems, including frequency and phase stabilization critical to experimental accuracy and stability.

•Team Leadership and Collaboration: Managed a team of three PhD students, serving as the primary coordinator between the team and the supervising professor, ensuring smooth operation and progress on a complex quantum optics setup

•European Consortium (COMOMET) Lead: Acted as the lead university representative for the European COMOMET consortium, responsible for coordinating efforts and aligning with international research goals.

•National Networking Initiative: Spearheaded the Swiss Quantum Research Network initiative to strengthen the fiber link dissemination among Switzerland’s key quantum labs.

• Conducted high-resolution spectroscopy on small molecules using diode lasers and frequency combs for enhanced detection sensitivity and precision
• Collaborating with multiple groups across Europe to execute long term spectroscopic projects
• Developed and automated experimental interfaces, facilitating reliable, long-term spectroscopic studies. Presenting findings (written and oral): peer-reviewed articles, conferences and symposia
• Supervised BSc students, providing guidance on research techniques and scientific writing.
