Congratulations to Dr. Brunelli

The whole QTeQ congratulates Matteo Brunelli for adding the prefix Dr. to his name!

On Monday 28 August 2017, our own Matteo has brilliantly passed his PhD viva with only minor corrections to his otherwise brilliantly written dissertation. The external examiner, Prof. Klemens Hammerer (Hannover) was very positively impressed by Matteo’s critical attitude to his own work and the depth of his understanding of non-equilibrium thermodynamics of quantum processes in harmonic systems.

Matteo will (sadly for us!) soon leave Belfast to join the group led by Dr. Andreas Nunnenkamp in Cambridge. He will be deeply missed, but we hope for frequent and extensive visits to ‘home’.
