Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJose Lado is an Assistant Professor in quantum materials engineering at Aalto University who leads the Correlated Quantum Materials group and brings a decade of experience at the intersection of materials science, quantum many-body physics, and machine learning. He designs exotic artificial quantum materials—particularly correlated, topological, and entangled phases in 2D van der Waals heterostructures—and partners closely with experimental teams to model and guide new devices. A prolific academic coder, he develops open-source scientific software to enable materials design and reproducible research. Trained at Universidad de Santiago de Compostela and with postdoctoral experience at ETH Zürich, he blends deep theoretical insight with practical computational tools to accelerate quantum technology development. Not obvious from titles alone: he actively bridges theory and experiment by delivering software that drives real materials discovery rather than purely abstract models.
