Kirsten Moselund

Kirsten Moselund is a Professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) and Head of the Laboratory for Nano and Quantum Technologies (LNQ) at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) since 2022. She leads LNQ’s six research groups focused on

• nanotechnology and advanced nanomanufacturing
• quantum computing technologies

with co-location of the ETHZ-PSI Quantum Computing Hub and affiliation to EPFL's Quantum Science and Engineering Center (QSE).

Her research spans semiconductor device physics and technology development, including

• III-V electronics
• nanophotonics
• topological devices
• cryogenic electronics

with applications in quantum computing, optical communication, and integrated photonics. She received an ERC Starting Grant for hybrid photonic-plasmonic nanolasers.

Recent publications focus on

• III-V photodetectors on silicon
• hybrid laser integration
• thermal management in nanocavities
• topological mode emission

across Nature Communications, ACS Photonics, and Nature Electronics.

Scientific awards include

• ERC Starting Grant

and institutional roles such as

• Member of IHP Microelectronics Scientific Advisory Board
• Executive Board of Swiss Photonics
• Technical Program Committee member for IEDM conference

At PSI, she oversees construction of the Park InnovAare cleanroom opening in 2024 and collaborates with international groups on theoretical foundations and simulations.
