Fabian Ruf
Helping Hands Network, Germany
Fabian Ruf received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany in 2015 and 2019, respectively, where he investigated the potential of polymeric optical microcavities and novel perovskite solar cells using optical spectroscopy. In 2020, he joined the Integrated Photonics group at Aarhus University, Denmark, as a postdoctoral researcher focusing on the development of photonic integrated circuits based on generic foundry platforms for quantum applications. His research interests encompass their potential for miniaturization, scale-up and novel functionalities in various other application areas. In parallel, he is passionate about teaching and promoting optics and photonics at all levels, especially as a tool to support education in less privileged communities.
