En résumé

Entreprises

• ID Quantique - Project manager

  2015 - maintenant I am currently project manager of Quantum Backbone, an ambitious international collaboration working towards a European integrated quantum encryption system.

• BSee - App. developer

  2014 - 2015 I developed a smartphone app for the partially sighted.
  
  This used OCR image recognition software, programmed in C++ and java.

• ID Quantique - Programmer

  2011 - 2011 Development of commercial quantum cryptographic systems. Highlights:
  
  · Leading a week-long training course in Oklahoma, USA;
  · Developing C++ software;
  · Initiating international collaborations.

• Telecom-Paristech - Chercheur en physique

  paris 2011 - 2014 Research into experimental and theoretical quantum physics in the group of
  Eleni Diamanti. My work involved computer programming in several languages, theoretical mathematical work, and analysing experimental data. My role was often to bridge the gap between experimental and theoretical physics, setting up and participating in collaborations with researchers throughout the world.
  
  My time in research was both enjoyable and productive, resulting in several high impact publications. It taught me two useful skills: analytic thinking; and concise expression of complex ideas. Highlights included:
  
  
  · Simulation and data analysis in C++ and Python;
  · Digiteo postdoctoral research grant;
  · Invitation to write a review article for Nature Nanotechnology; · Reviewer for American Physical Society and Springer.
  

• Freshminds - Market research

  2007 - 2007 Data analysis for a London-based market research firm.
  
  · Analysing data in Excel;
  · Interpreting and explaining results to clients including the British national health service.

Formations

• University Of Bristol (Bristol)

  Bristol 2007 - 2011 PhD
  
  heoretical and experimental research on quantum mechanics in a world-leading group under the supervision of Prof. Noah Linden. Given tremendous autonomy, I was able to publish articles with several professors, across a range of disciplines. Highlights included:
  
  · Designing the state-of-the-art demonstration of Shor’s algorithm, the most important quantum algorithm;
  · Conference presentations i

• UIUC - University Of Illinois At Urbana Champaign
