Mircea Trif
Assistant Professor
Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences
Address: Mengminwei Science Building S315
Open Positions:
I am looking for motivated undergraduate and graduate students to work on either of the following topics: physics of spin qubits and spin based quantum computing, quantum transport, Majorana fermions for topological quantum computing, Floquet or time-dependent topological materials. Some of the projects are pursued in collaboration with various groups in Europe (Switzerland, France, Spain) and US, so there will be the opportunity for scientific visits. If you are interested in joining my group, just drop me an email.
