Juan Ardila
Undergraduate Researcher
Quantum Nanophotonics Lab
Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy
Juan is an undergraduate physics student from Colombia who joined the group in the summer of 2024 through the MITACS Global Research Internship (GRI) program. His role involves supporting research on near-deterministic on-chip operation of single photon sources. Juan's primary interests lie in quantum many-body physics and applying machine learning techniques to study these systems, with the goal of advancing quantum technologies. Outside of academia, Juan is very active and enjoys music, cooking, hiking, and continually learning new things.
