Simon did his master’s degree in physics at Chalmers. In late 2020, he joined 202Q-lab as an amanuensis, where he developed a virtual instrument for control and readout of superconducting qubits by the means of pulse sequencing. Then, he started his master thesis on quantum thermodynamics working under the supervision of Aamir. After an exchange in Hong Kong, he came back to 202Q-lab to do his PhD at the end of 2022. Besides physics, he enjoys rock climbing, programming, and scuba diving.
