Constantin Schrade is an Assistant Professor (Tenure-Track) in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the Louisiana State University (LSU) and the Principal Investigator of the “Theory of Quantum Circuits & Materials” group. Until the end of 2023, he held the position of a Research Assistant Professor in Quantum Information Science and Quantum Condensed Matter Physics at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. Here, he was a member of the Center for Quantum Devices (QDev) and worked in close collaboration with several experimental groups on creating error-protected superconducting qubits and quantum coherent devices. Prior to joining the Niels Bohr Institute, Constantin Schrade was a postdoctoral researcher for three years (2017-2020) at the Department of Physics and the Material Research Laboratory (MRL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Under the supervision of Professor Liang Fu and Dr. Jagadeesh Moodera, his research at MIT focused on superconducting quantum information devices and novel quantum materials. Constantin Schrade obtained his Ph.D. (2017) under the supervision of Professor Daniel Loss at the University of Basel, where he conducted research on spin-based and topological quantum information processing. Before pursuing his doctorate, he earned his Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees from ETH Zurich in Switzerland. Beyond his academic pursuits, Constantin has a keen interest in outdoor activities.
