Group

Principal investigator

Postdocs

Shilan Abo
Shilan joined the group just before Christmas 2024 to work on various aspects of quantum control of microwave cavities and mechanical resonators using superconducting qubits. She obtained her PhD from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland under the supervision of Adam Miranowicz.

Iivari Pietikäinen
Iivari has worked with me as a postdoc since 2019. He has studied a range of topics within circuit quantum electrodynamics, focusing mainly on detailed numerical simulations. He obtained his PhD at the University of Oulu, Finland, where he was supervised by Erkki Thuneberg and Jani Tuorila.

Vahid Shaghaghi
Vahid joined my group in August 2023 and he works on controlling multiple cavity modes using superconducting circuits. Before coming to Olomouc, he did his PhD at the University of Insubria, Italy, under the guidance of Giuliano Benenti.

PhD students

Yash Parihar
Yash has been a member of the group since September 2025. He joined after obtaining his Master’s degree from IISER Bhopal to work on hybrid quantum systems combining superconducting circuits with levitated nanoparticles.

Former members

Foroud Bemani (2020–2023)
Foroud works primarily on measurement feedback and its applications in cavity optomechanics, which he also did as a postdoc in my group. He is still at the Palacký University, now working with Andrey Rakhubovsky.

Anil Kumar Chauhan (2019–2022)
As a postdoc, Anil worked on optomechanics with levitated nanoparticles. He studied mainly entanglement generation in nanoparticle motion generated by coherent scattering. Currently, he is a staff scientist at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology in Japan in the group of Jason Twamley.
