About me

Christian Schönenberger is both an electrical engineer and a physicist by training. He worked at the ETH-Zurich, the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory and later at the Philips Research Laboratory in Eindhoven. Since 1995 he is a full professor in experimental physics at the Department of Physics of the University of Basel. He was a co-initiator of the Swiss Nanoscience institute and till summer 2022 its director. The research in his group is targeted towards electrical properties of nano-scaled quantum devices. Such devices are currently central in developing quantum computers and other quantum-based electronic applications. In their research, the group often explores fundamental quantum effects in new material systems with reduced dimensions. Website: www.nanoelectronics.ch
