Konstantinos Lagoudakis obtained a Bsc in Physics at the National Kapodistrian University of Athens in 2005 followed by an Msc in optics and Photonics at Imperial College London in 2006. In 2010 he completed his Phd in Photonics at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in the Laboratory of Quantum optoelectronics, where he stayed for another year for a post-doctorate fellowship. The outstanding quality of his Phd thesis led to the EPFL doctorate Award and Mention EPFL Press. since 2012, he is working on on-chip non-classical light sources and developing new technologies for quantum information processing in the Nanoscale and Quantum Photonics Laboratory at stanford University as the recipient of the swiss National Foundation advanced researcher fellowship.
