Konstantinos Lagoudakis

Konstantinos Lagoudakis is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Strathclyde. He received his B.Sc. in Physics (Solid State Physics) from National Kapodistrian University of Athens (2005), M.Sc. in Optics and Photonics from Imperial College London (2006), and Ph.D. on exciton-polariton condensates from EPFL (2010) under Benoit Deveaud. His groundbreaking work earned multiple awards, including the Swiss Physical Society General Physics Prize (2010), EPFL Doctorate Award (2012), and two SNSF fellowships. As head of the Hybrid Quantum Technologies group, he focuses on quantum nanosystems and polariton condensates.

• Doctor of Science (Physics), EPFL (2010)
• Master of Science (Optics and Photonics), Imperial College London (2006)
• Bachelor of Science (Physics), National Kapodistrian University of Athens (2005)

His research spans quantum nanophotonics, including:

• Exciton-polariton condensation in semiconductor microcavities
• All-optical control of polariton fluids
• Topological quantum computing with polaritons
• Hybrid quantum systems combining polaritons and quantum dots
• Coherent qubit control with site-controlled quantum emitters
• Light-matter interactions at the single-quantum level

Recent publications highlight his contributions to quantum dots, silicon vacancies, and coherent control systems. Awards include multiple Swiss National Science Foundation fellowships and prestigious EPFL prizes. He supervises research students and leads EPSRC-funded projects on scalable quantum technologies.
