Adam Vallés received his BSc in telecom engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in 2011, his MSc in photonics from the Institut de Ciències Fotòniques (ICFO) in 2012, and his PhD in photonics also from ICFO in 2017, where he had the opportunity of designing and implementing quantum optics-based experiments. He was then awarded a Claude Leon Foundation postdoctoral fellowship to work in the Structured Light Lab from the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa. He also worked as Assistant Professor at Chiba University, Japan, devising novel imaging techniques for the terahertz region.
After over 4 years of postdoctoral experience supervising students and leading international projects in collaboration with Heriot-Watt, Naples, Tohoku or Harvard universities, among others, he joined the Optoelectronics group in ICFO where he is currently working as a Research Fellow. He is also lecturing in different BSc courses in Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and in the Photonics MSc coordinated by UPC, UAB, ICFO and also Universitat de Barcelona (UB). His research interests are mainly focused on high-dimensional quantum communication and quantum imaging.
