Tobias is a group leader at DESY and a W2 professor of physics at the University of Hamburg. He received  his PhD from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne EPFL, with part of the research carried out at the Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics. Before coming to Hamburg, he worked in industry at the Swiss Centre for Electronics and Microtechnology CSEM. His research interests are nonlinear and ultrafast photonics in chip-integrated devices, in particular for ultrashort pulse and frequency comb generation, broadband classical and quantum light sources, and precision metrology. In his spare time, Tobias enjoys sailing, cycling and mountain adventures.
