Dr Djeylan Aktas

is head of the experimental photonics quantum communication group at the Institute of Physics of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. He has a wide knowledge in designing complex photonics experiments for applications in quantum communication and sensing gained as a postdoc at the INPHYNI institute (Nice, France) and when he was Senior Researcher in the QComms team at QETLabs (Bristol, UK) he also led the work on the development of integrated photonics devices for quantum networks.

After his involvement in the first phase of the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, he became co-investigator in the second phase of funding while being also part of the international collaborative research program on quantum technologies funded by Innovate UK and the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. More recently, he was awarded a SASPRO2 fellowship in 2022 and he is currently the coordinator for the Digital EuroQCI national deployment of QKD infrastructure in Slovakia.
