Yue Ban is a new 'Ramón y Cajal' Fellow at the Materials Science Institute of Madrid (ICMM-CSIC). She is now part of the Novel Platforms and Nano-devices for Quantum Simulation and Computation Group although she is originally from Shanghai, China. "I received my Ph.D. degree in the University of the Basque Country, Spain. After spending several years working at Shanghai University, I was awarded Juan de la Cierva fellowship and returned to Spain. I have been continuing to develop my academic career in different universities and institutions in Spain", she says. 

What have you worked on so far?

My research activities are dedicated to the forefront fields of quantum science and technology, with a focused commitment to advancing quantum control, quantum machine learning, and quantum sensing.

What will you work on? With whom?

I will continue to work on the forefront fields of quantum science and technology. Especially, I will focus on advancing quantum technologies for future materials supported by artificial intelligence. This research, particularly in solid-state platforms including semiconductor quantum dots, NV center spins, will be conducted in collaboration within the group of “Novel Platforms and Nano-Devices for Quantum Simulation and Computation”, led by Prof. Gloria Platero.

Why did you choose ICMM?

I worked at ICMM during my Juan de la Cierva Fellowship, where I experienced its renowned excellence in material science and physics. I am particularly drawn to ICMM's collaborative environment and its strong strength on interdisciplinary research, which provides an excellent foundation for advancing my work in quantum technologies for future materials.

And a personal touch: any hobbies? What would you like to contribute to the institute?

I like both popular and classical music. I would like to develop interdisciplinary research that can bridge different areas of material science, quantum technologies and artificial intelligence.
