Skype a scientist

Chat informally
with one of our scientists

Skype a scientist is a platform that connects scientists to group of people all around the world.

If you’d like to chat informally with a scientist for 30 minutes, this is the program for you! Just remember to write the name of one of our scientists in the “request a specific scientist” field in the registration form. You can find below the names of the ICFOnians available on the Skype a scientist platform.

Christoffer Moller

Postdoctoral researcher

Postdoctoral researcher with a broad range of interests and expertise. I have worked with gravitational wave astrophysics/astronomy at the cutting edge of precision metrology; used lasers, atoms and entanglement to test the fundamental limits of quantum mechanics; and now I grow carbon nanotubes to make a mechanical qubit at ultralow temperatures.
