involvement: co-PI responsible for the development of diamond-based nanophotonics and the characterization of color centers.   

BeQuNet: Flemish project funded by the iBOF and involving Universiteit Gent, Université Libre de Bruxelles, and UHasselt. The projects aims at developing quantum repeaters based on a memoryless approach.
Involvement: co-PI responsible for Bell state generation and wavelength conversion.

Squeezed Quantum processing with Photonics and Electronics (SQOPE: 2022-2026) : European project funded by the FWO via a Weave grant. It involves university of Vienna, the Austrian institute of technology and the Universiteit Gent and aims at developing a chip scale platform for squeezing from generation to detection and manipulation. 
Involvement: co-PI responsible for the squeezing generation. See publication.
