Nicola Maraviglia
Researcher
Dr Nicola Maraviglia received his BSc and MSc degree in physics from the University of Naples Federico II with a final year thesis on fabrication and characterisation of Al2O3/SrTiO3 interfaces manifesting a quasi-2D electronic gas. In 2016, he joined the Quantum Engineering and Technology Labs (QETLabs) at the University of Bristol for his PhD studies. There, he specialised in silicon based integrated photonics, reconfigurable interferometers, quantum photonics and quantum simulations. His PhD work included the demonstration of characterisation techniques for integrated photonics circuits and the implementation of photonics quantum simulation of physical systems.
In 2020, Nicola moved to the Tyndall National Institute in Cork as postdoc to work on site-controlled quantum dot and III-V material fabrication for the “Quantum Computing in Ireland” (QCoIr) project. His work involved device simulation, cleanroom processing and cryogenic testing. In 2024, he joined CAPPA at the Munster Technology University to deliver Si3N4 circuits for visible wavelength and non-linear photonics.
Nicola’s research interests include integrated photonics, optical computation, quantum optics and quantum simulation.
