Christos Gagatsos is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a member of the Wyant College of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona. He joined the university in 2018 as a postdoctoral research associate, was promoted to Assistant Research Professor in 2020, and became an Assistant Professor in ECE in 2023. Prior to this, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Warwick, UK. His educational background includes: PhD in Engineering Sciences and Technology, Université Libre de Bruxelles and École Polytechnique, Belgium (2014) MSc in Physics of Elementary Particles, University of Athens, Greece (2010) BSc in Physics, University of Athens, Greece (2007) Christos Gagatsos's research lies at the intersection of quantum information, quantum sensing, and quantum communications, with a strong theoretical focus on bosonic systems. His work explores fundamental concepts such as entanglement, non-Gaussianity, and Bayesian estimation in quantum systems. He is particularly interested in pushing the limits of quantum-enhanced sensing, including optical phase and transmissivity estimation, and in developing theoretical frameworks for quantum detection and discrimination. His teaching interests include quantum information, quantum optics, probability theory, and applied mathematics. The recent trend in his publications reflects a deep engagement with Bayesian methods in quantum parameter estimation, quantum change point detection, and the characterization of quantum states through measures like Wigner entropy. His work spans both fundamental quantum theory and practical applications in sensing and communication, often bridging classical and quantum approaches. He advises several graduate students across departments, including Boyu Zhou (Physics), Ali Cox (Physics), Qipeng Qian (Mathematics), and Leo Bia (Optical Sciences). While no formal scientific awards are listed in the provided text, editorial recognition such as an Editor’s Pick in APL Quantum highlights the impact of his research. Christos Gagatsos leads a research group focused on theoretical quantum information, actively collaborating with quantum research groups across the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and international institutions in the USA and Europe. His lab investigates quantum sensing, communications, and foundational aspects of quantum mechanics using bosonic platforms, fostering a collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment.
