Fernández, Verónica

Veronica Fernandez received the B.Sc. degree (hons.) in Physics with Electronics from the University of Seville in 2002 and the PhD degree in Physics from Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, U.K., in 2006, with title "Gigahertz Clocked Point-to-Point and Multi-User Quantum Key Distribution Systems". She joined the Institute for Physical and Information Technologies of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) in November 2007 with a post-doctoral "Juan de la Cierva" contract. In 2009 she obtained a permanent position at CSIC.

Her main research lines include experimental high-speed quantum key distribution systems, both in free space and optical fiber, as well as laser-beam stabilization systems for correcting atmospheric turbulent effects in optical and quantum communications.
