Vincent Bouchiat

Vincent Bouchiat followed his studies in Paris partially at the Lycée Henri-IV. In 1993, he received an engineer degree from the School of Industrial Physics and Chemistry of Paris ESPCI in 1993 and a master's degree in solid state physics from the University of Paris, Pierre & Marie Curie. After completing his Ph.D. at Quantronics group in CEA-Saclay in 1997 under the supervision of Michel Devoret and Daniel Estève,[1] he received a CNRS position the same year at University of Marseilles.

Bouchiat's PhD dissertation is recognized as a pioneering study in the field of quantum computing hardware, showing the quantum superposition of charge states in a single Cooper pair box. This experiment paved the way for the realisation of a charge qubit.[2]

Dr Bouchiat's research interests cover a wide range of solid state physics and multidisciplinary investigations which include quantum information, superconductivity, carbon nanostructures ( graphene and carbon nanotubes), bioelectronics and translational research research in medical sciences .[3]

Dr. Bouchiat is a CNRS permanent fellow since 1997. He is director of research at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), associated with the Néel Institute at CNRS Grenoble.[4]

In 2007, Bouchiat was invited professor at the Physics department of University of California, Berkeley.[5]

In 2019, Vincent Bouchiat co-founded the company Grapheal of which he is currently CEO, a startup focussing on the healthcare applications of graphene.[6]

In 2007, he received the Visiting Miller Professorship award from Miller Institute at University of California, Berkeley . He also won in 2017, the Lee-Hsun Research Award from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Institute of Metal Research).[7]
