Philip P. J. Schrinner

Philip P. J. Schrinner has a diverse work experience spanning various roles and industries. Philip P. J. is currently employed at LioniX International as a Photonic Engineer and Project leader, where they work on multidisciplinary projects involving photonic integrated circuits, with a focus on hybrid integration and prototype development. Philip P. J. also serves as the project leader for several commercial and European projects.

Prior to their current role, Philip worked at Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster as a PHD Researcher from 2017 to 2021. In this position, they integrated single photon sources into nano-photonic silicon chips for future photonic quantum chips. Their research involved interfacing single Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) centers in nanodiamonds with photonic crystal cavities to create a nano-photonic network of single photon sources. Philip conducted various measurements, including temporal auto-correlation measurements and the evaluation of the (Purcell-) enhancement of the optical system.

Before their PHD position, Philip was a Master Thesis Student at RWTH Aachen University from 2015 to 2016. Here, they established the fabrication of a multilevel gate structure on a silicon chip. Philip P. J. utilized standard CMOS fabrication utilities and conducted scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and low temperature electrical measurements to evaluate the performance of the devices.

Philip's work experience also includes a role at Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft's Institute for Laser Technology from 2012 to 2013, where they evaluated absorption measurements of non-linear crystals. Additionally, they worked as a Substitute Teacher at Couven Gymnasium in 2011, teaching physics to two 8th grade classes and leading a diving project with selected volunteer students, including physical experiments conducted underwater.

Overall, Philip P. J. Schrinner has gained expertise in photonic engineering, nano-photonic silicon chip integration, fabrication, and experimental measurements throughout their career.

Philip P. J. Schrinner began their education at Couven Gymnasium from 2000 to 2009, where they obtained their A levels. Philip P. J. then went on to attend RWTH Aachen University from 2010 to 2016, earning a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and a Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree in Physics. While at RWTH Aachen University, Schrinner also obtained a certification from the International School of Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy on "Quantum nano-photonics" in July 2017. In addition, they received certifications from the Silicon Quantum Electronics Workshop in June 2016 and the Doctoral School on Quantum Information Processing by IDEA League in February 2015.
