Theodoros Kapnas
12/2023 – today Undergraduate Student
06/2023 – 08/2023 Intern on a demonstration project
Theodoros Kapnas is currently in his final year of her undergraduate degree in Physics at the University of Crete. During the summer period of 2023 he worked on a demonstration project for the 2023 Researcher’s Night. He built and demonstrated (together with Afroditi Aretakis) a single photon interferometer. In order to make the concept of interferometry more comprehensible, they built acoustic interferometers. Currently, he is working on her thesis which is on a laser Amplifier to be used in a BEC/MOT experiment.

Marcel Morillas
11/2023 Visiting Student on BEC1
I am Marcel Morillas, I completed my undergraduate studies at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Then, I pursued an MSc. in Photonics at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, where I did my Master’s Thesis on simulating one and two-mode squeezed light in topological photonic lattices as a member of the Quantum and Atom Optics Group (QAOS) at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
Beyond my scientific pursuits, I enjoy watching and playing sports, especially American football and playing the bass guitar.
