Biography

Elica Kyoseva earned her bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees from Sofia University in Bulgaria. When she was doing her studies, she had the opportunity to gain invaluable research experience being a Marie-Curie Fellow based at the Technische Universitaet Kaiserslautern in Germany and later on, at the University of Leeds in the UK.

After completing her PhD, Elica joined the Centre for Quantum Technolgoies at National University of Singapore as a Research Fellow where she spent three years as a member of the Interdisciplinary Theory Group. Elica’s research is in the field of quantum optics with application to quantum information technologies. Elica has worked on the implementation of complex interaction Hamiltonians suitable for quantum simulations in scalable cavity-based qubit networks and in hollow core optical fibers.
