Ulrich Vogl is the Exploitation manager of the Q-MIC project. He obtained his PhD in Bonn in 2010. He spent time as postdoc and project leader at NIST/Gaithersburg and the Max-Planck-Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen. In 2017 he joined ZEISS as developer for EUV systems and oversaw projects on additive manufacturing and automatization. Since 2018 he is working on quantum technologies in the Corporate Research and Technology department of ZEISS with a focus on quantum imaging applications.

Luc Dümpelmann studied Nanosciences at the University of Basel, where he focused on developing a cantilever-based optical viscometer with microliter sample consumption to monitor biological aggregation processes. He did his PhD at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) in collaboration with the ETH Zurich, where he studied color filters based on plasmonic nanostructures for large-scale applications. Amongst others, he developed one of the first multispectral imaging systems based on plasmonic structures as well as disruptive plasmonic aluminum nanostructures for optical security applications. Currently, he is a postdoctoral researcher at ICFO in the group of prof. Valerio Pruneri, where he is developing a novel large field-of-view interference microscopy for highly sensitive detection and characterization of (sub-)nanometer features. In particular he is focusing on using this compact platform for in-line inspection & material analysis as well as for rapid disease detection for point-of-care diagnostics.

Francesca Madonini received her Bachelor degree in Biomedical Engineering and her Master degree in Electronics Engineering, both cum laude, at Politecnico di Milano in 2017 and 2019, respectively. She was double degree awarded at Politecnico di Torino, as a part of the Alta Scuola Politecnica program. Since November 2019, she is enrolled in the Research Doctorate in Information Technology (area Electronics) at Politecnico di Milano. Her current research focuses on Single Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) imagers for photon counting and photon timing for 2D and 3D imaging, under the supervision of prof. Federica Villa and prof. Franco Zappa. In particular, her main task consists in the design of microelectronic circuits for SPAD arrays, specifically tailored for photon coincidences measurements in the field of quantum-enhanced microscopy.

Álvaro Cuevas is a physicist specialized in quantum optics. He has obtained his Bachellor and Master degrees in physics at University of Concepción, Chile. Later he obtained his PhD in physics at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy, where he worked in the group lead by professor Paolo Mataloni. Currently Dr. Álvaro Cuevas has a post-doc position at ICFO as member of the Optoelectronics Group, which is led by professor Dr. Valerio Pruneri. His work is focused on the development of quantum-enhanced optical microscopy techniques, and quantum generation of random numbers and light modulation in sofisticated materials.
