Matteo Lodde

Matteo Lodde is a Researcher in the Photonics and Semiconductor Nanophysics group at Eindhoven University of Technology. His work focuses on the interaction between quantum dots, photonic/phononic crystals, and optomechanical cavities to explore tripartite light-exciton-phonon coupling for quantum information processing.

• Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in physics from the University of Cagliari (2017, 2019)
• Current PhD research under Prof. Andrea Fiore

Research interests include nanophotonics, quantum physics, and optomechanics, particularly the engineering of nanostructures with embedded quantum dots. His work involves designing systems to confine and couple optical and mechanical modes for quantum state manipulation.

Recent publications investigate strain coupling in quantum dot systems and optical losses in photonic crystal cavities. Keywords span Quantum Dots, Photonic Crystals, and Excitons, with subfields like Optomechanical Resonators, Phononics, and Light-Matter Interaction.
