About Me
Hi, my name is Ugo, I’m a third year PhD student in Quantum Computing. I’m cosupervised by Prof. Giuseppe Di Molfetta (CaNa Team, LIS, Aix-Marseille Université) and Prof. Andrea Simonetto (OC Team, UMA, ENSTA). I’m affiliated to both establishments but you will find me most of the time at the TPR2 building on the Luminy campus in Marseille, located in the middle of the Calanques National Park.
Feel free to contact me at ugo[dot]nzongani[at]lis-lab[dot]fr for more informations !
