Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThibaud Ruelle is a Senior R&D Engineer in quantum technologies with 10 years of experience building micro- and nano-fabricated experimental platforms that probe optical, electronic and mechanical properties at cryogenic and high-vacuum conditions. Trained as a physicist and materials scientist (PhD, University of Basel; MSc/Eng EPFL), he has hands-on expertise in fiber-based optical microcavities, laser system design (including CO2 ablation for concave fiber mirrors), and optomechanical measurements of 2D-material resonators. At CSEM he translates laboratory-grade techniques into applied quantum sensing solutions for biological, medical and environmental applications, drawing on prior academic leadership roles where he mentored students and taught measurement and acquisition courses. He also contributes to open-source instrumentation software like Microsoft’s QCoDeS, improving instrument drivers and dataset handling—bridging hardware and data acquisition software. Known for combining meticulous experimental design with practical fabrication skills, he excels at taking complex photonic experiments from concept through assembly to reproducible measurement.
