Welcome, Eric! Eric received his M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Calgary in Canada, studying segmentation/classification algorithms for Polarimetric Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolInSAR). He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto, with his doctoral thesis focusing on the development of a framework for optimal control of quantum noiseless subsystems. Eric has joined the CryoTrap team in Innsbruck looking to study control/optimization problems in ion shuttling for 2D arrays of ion traps.
Eric is a recipient of the Alexander Graham Bell CGS-D award from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Henderson Basset Fellowship at the University of Toronto. In addition to quantum control design, he has worked extensively with operations research, embedded controller design/programming, software design, and system identification.
