Boris Chesca

Boris is involved in the simulation, design, fabrication, and measurements of superconducting quantum devices. For more than 30 years he specialized in both theory and experiments of the Josephson effects, superconducting devices/SQUIDs, and their applications.

Boris graduated from the University of Bucharest in Romania, received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from JINR, Dubna in Russia, and his German Habilitation in experimental physics at Tuebingen University in Germany. From 1996 until 1998 he was a Humboldt Fellow at the Forschungszentrum Juelich in Germany working in the SQUID group.

Prior to joining OQC, Boris worked as a Senior Lecturer at Loughborough University, before that, as an Assistant Professor at Tuebingen University, and as a postdoctoral researcher at Augsburg University. Between 2015 and 2020, Boris was an Executive Board Member of the Superconductor Science and Technology, IoP journal.
