Nicolo Danna
Postdoctoral Scholar, Applied Physics
BioSince his master’s and PhD at ETH, Nicolò D’Anna’s research has been dedicated to understanding and controlling quantum states of matter in low-dimensional solid-state systems. During his PhD he specialized in ultra-low-temperature magneto-transport to study dopant layers and structures in silicon for quantum computing. During his postdoc at UCSD, he focused on utilizing advanced coherent X-ray diffraction techniques to investigate metal-to-insulator transition switching in metal-oxides for neuromorphic applications. Currently, as an Urbanek-Chodorow postdoctoral fellow, he aims to achieve ultra-fast time-resolved optical interrogation and control of low-temperature quantum phases in synthetic stacked van-der-Waals systems, with a particular focus on magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene.

Philipp Frank
Postdoctoral Scholar, Physics
BioPhilipp Frank is an Astronomy and Machine Learning researcher who is developing and applying statistical and ai methods to help deepen our understanding of the structure of the Milky Way and the Cosmos. He did his PhD and a followup Postdoc in Germany at Ludwig Maximilians University and the Max-Planck-Institute for Astrophysics where he worked on probabilistic ML and numerical inference methods and contributed to applications ranging from radio interferometry, X- and gamma-ray imaging, Cosmic Ray air-shower reconstructions, and 3d maps of the dust and gas content of our local Galactic neighborhood.
As a KIPAC Fellow at Stanford he aims to push 3D mapping of the interstellar medium to unprecedented scales in both size and resolution, and incorporate multiple additional tracers for a more comprehensive picture of local structures. This aims to shed light on the mechanisms of star formation and galaxy dynamics across scales only accessible through our unique vantage point within the Galaxy.
