About

I’m Tijl Degroote, a ...-year-old with Flemish roots, currently pursuing a PhD in Physics at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Thomas Ihn in the Nanophysics Group. I focus on bilayer graphene systems as a possible qubit platform. I’m passionate about fundamental quantum physics and nanoscience, and I generally take a deep interest in technology.

I obtained my Master’s degree from Delft University of Technology. I completed my thesis at QuTech in the lab of Dr. Srijit Goswami. My work involved reflectometry measurements in 2DEG semiconductor-superconductor hybrid (Majorana) devices. To complement this experience, I undertook an internship in industry at deep-tech start-up Diamfab. Later, I joined the Quantum Photon Science group at the Paul Scherrer Institute for a research internship, concluding my honours program at TU Delft.

Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, travelling and EVs. I’m also an all-genre music enthousiast and hold a higher degree in piano.
