Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdrian Utama is an R&D characterization engineer and physicist with nine years of experience building and characterizing quantum devices, particularly in photonics and superconducting platforms. He has transitioned from academic research—designing a near-concentric optical resonator for strong atom-photon coupling—to foundry-scale work automating device characterization and feeding experimental insights back into design and fabrication. Based in Singapore, he has contributed to the National Quantum Federated Foundry and now applies hands-on tinkering and data-driven methods at Black Semiconductor. Adrian combines deep experimental rigor from a PhD in physics with practical engineering of photonic integrated circuits and measurement automation. He’s known for an insatiable curiosity—often building “random stuff” beyond core projects—which helps him spot nonobvious failure modes and practical optimizations.
