What have you been doing professionally since you left INESC TEC?

I’ve worked as an invited lecturer at the University of Minho, and I’m currently a researcher at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL); I’m working on the development of quantum computing technologies that resort to photonics. 

How did your experience at INESC TEC contributed to your professional history?

INESC TEC was my host institution while developing my PhD, by providing all the necessary conditions to my success. In this sense, INESC TEC will play a key role in all my future activities. 

When you think about INESC TEC, what comes to your mind?
