Vincent Desmaris

Vincent Desmaris is a Researcher at Chalmers University of Technology, where he is part of the Advanced Receiver Development (GARD) unit. He specializes in developing and manufacturing microwave and terahertz components for cryogenic receiver systems. Desmaris also serves as the primary supervisor for doctoral students focusing on superconducting materials and components.

His academic background includes an MSc in Materials Science from INSA-Lyon (1999) and a PhD in Microwave Electronics from Chalmers University of Technology (2006). He joined GARD immediately after completing his doctorate.

Desmaris's research centers on advanced technologies for submillimeter-wave applications. Key areas include superconducting devices, terahertz component design, nanostructured energy storage systems, and cryogenic instrumentation. His work directly supports astronomical projects like ALMA and APEX telescopes through innovations in receiver technology.

Recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate strong focus on:

• Wideband terahertz waveguide components (OMTs, hybrids, transitions)
• GaN HEMTs and superconducting Nb devices for low-noise cryogenic systems
• Ultra-high-density capacitors using carbon nanostructures
• Novel fabrication methods for metallic micromachined substrates

He has contributed to instrumentation projects including SEPIA heterodyne receivers and the Heterodyne Receiver for Origins (HERO) space telescope concept.

As main doctoral supervisor in GARD, he mentors students in superconducting materials research but specific student names are not disclosed.
