Academic Career and Research Areas

Dr. Benjamin Lienhard earned his Doctor of Science (ScD) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, after completing both his Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees at ETH Zurich. He subsequently held a postdoctoral research fellowship at Princeton University.

Dr. Lienhard specializes in interfacing with quantum systems, with a particular emphasis on superconducting and semiconductor quantum systems. His research focuses on optimizing the control and readout of these systems to enhance their efficiency—key steps toward enabling practical quantum information processing. To address these challenges, he leverages classical signal processing techniques, including machine learning.
