Biography

Roudy began his physics Bachelor’s studies at the Lebanese University before moving to RWTH Aachen to focus on the quantum technology track. For his Master’s thesis, he joined the Forschungszentrum Jülich, working under the supervision of Dr. Peter Schüffelgen and Dr. Pavel Bushev in a joint project between PGI-9 and PGI-11, where he explored the fabrication and characterization of Josephson junctions.

Fascinated by the topic, he dedicated his Ph.D. to developing a new fabrication approach for superconducting qubits, which he calls on-chip stencil lithography. Due to his many collaborations, he collected extensive “experimental data” on Deutsche Bahn’s punctuality — ensuring his fabrication process is compatible with every delay.

Now part of the Institute for Functional Quantum Systems (FUNQS – PGI-13), led by Prof. Rami Barends and Dr. Pavel Bushev, Roudy applies his cleanroom expertise to scalable quantum processing units. When not mixing some chemicals, he’s likely building some Lego sets or analysing some new Formula 1 upgraded parts.
