We are delighted to welcome Amrita Ahuja, our new student research assistant!

Amrita is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in the Quantum Technologies and Engineering Erasmus Mundus programme (QuanTEEM). After completing the first year of her Master’s at Université Bourgogne Europe in Dijon, France, she is now continuing her studies at RPTU Kaiserslautern. Her studies in Dijon focused on photonics, and she completed a research internship with the photonics and fiber-laser group at Laboratoire ICB, where she contributed to the initial development and characterisation of an energy-managed all-fiber laser architecture. Building on this experience and her interest in experimental photonics, she has joined the group as a HiWi student.
She previously completed a Bachelor’s degree in Physics, during which her thesis focused on the numerical modelling of quantum systems using special random matrices and studying the localisation properties of their eigenstates.
Beyond physics, Amrita enjoys sports, particularly basketball, and is currently learning to skate and shuffle dance.
