Arnout Lodewijk M BeckersArnout was born in Leuven, Belgium. He received the M.Sc. degree in Nanoelectronics from
KU Leuven
in 2016. He wrote his M.Sc. thesis in the Physics Modeling and Simulation group at
imec
, Leuven, on the simulation of energy filtering in superlattice-based nanowires. In October 2016, he joined
ICLAB
as part of the European
H2020
MOS-Quito Project
(MOS-based Quantum Information Technology) to model the MOS transistor at cryogenic temperatures, dedicated to the design of cryogenic analog-RF circuits for improved qubit control. His research interests include quantum technology, low-temperature electronics, quantum physics, and cryogenic experiments.

Andrea RuffinoAndrea Ruffino received the B.Sc. degree (cum laude) in Engineering Physics from Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, in 2013, the triple joint M.Sc. degree (cum laude) in Micro and Nanotechnologies for Integrated Systems from Politecnico di Torino, Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG), Grenoble, France, and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2015 and the Ph.D. degree in Microsystems and Microelectronics from EPFL in 2021.
From 2015 to 2016, he was with Hypres, Inc., Elmsford, NY, USA, working on the design of superconducting readout circuits in rapid single flux quantum (RSFQ) technology for superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. In 2016, he joined EPFL as a Research Assistant and from 2017 to 2018 he was a Visiting Research Assistant at Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands. Since 2016 he has been with EPFL, where he is working on cryogenic CMOS electronics for qubit readout and control, focusing on single-chip cryo-CMOS transceivers for scalable silicon quantum computers. His main research interests include analog and RF integrated circuit design, cryogenic CMOS electronics for quantum computing applications, superconducting electronics and sensors.
Dr. Ruffino was also among the Best Student Paper Award finalists at the IEEE Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium 2019 and he is a recipient of the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) Predoctoral Achievement Award for 2020-2021.
