Tobias Kippenberg

Tobias Kippenberg is a Full Professor of Physics at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), leading the Laboratory of Photonics and Quantum Measurements. His research focuses on quantum measurements, quantum optomechanics, frequency metrology, nanomechanics, and nanophotonics. He has made significant contributions to the development of chip-scale Kerr frequency comb generation and cavity optomechanics. Kippenberg holds a PhD from the California Institute of Technology and has been affiliated with EPFL since 2005. His work has been recognized with several awards, including the Helmholtz Prize for Metrology and the EPS Fresnel Prize.

Tobias J Kippenberg is a researcher at the Institute of Condensed Matter Physics, EPFL, specializing in cavity quantum optomechanics, superconducting microwave optomechanics, nonlinear integrated photonics, and nano-mechanical systems. His work explores the interaction between light and mechanical systems at the quantum level, focusing on phenomena such as optomechanical coupling, soliton formation, and frequency comb generation. He has contributed significantly to the development of microresonator-based optical frequency combs and the observation of strong coupling between atoms and microresonators. His research also addresses the cooling of mechanical oscillators and the realization of quantum-coherent systems for optical communication.
