Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Vanderbruggen is a physicist-engineer and co-founder of Koheron with 11 years of experience specializing in interferometry, laser stabilization, optical resonators, high-frequency optical detection and microwave electronics. He holds a PhD from Université Paris-Sud and has translated deep academic work on non-demolition measurements and atom interferometry into practical instrumentation and startup-grade hardware. His background includes postdoctoral research in quantum-enhanced magnetometry at ICFO and a stint as a higher research scientist at NPL, demonstrating a bridge between cutting-edge quantum optics and metrology applications. At Koheron he focuses on turning precision optical and microwave techniques into scalable products, informed by hands-on design work dating back to NIST internships. Colleagues describe him as a builder who combines experimental rigor with product-minded engineering, often optimizing high-finesse cavity systems for real-world robustness. Based in Greater Paris, he brings both entrepreneurial drive and deep domain expertise to optical sensing and quantum instrumentation efforts.
