Soroush Khademi is a PhD student contributor to Physics World. He is doing a PhD research project on quantum optomechanics at the University of Queensland (UQ), Australia, and is a student member of Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Engineered Quantum Systems. The goal of the project is to observe macroscopic quantumness at room temperature. Although this achievement will be mostly interesting from a fundamental point of view, it will have potential applications in quantum sensing. Soroush’s academic journey started with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and continued with a Master’s degree in physics from Sharif University of Technology, Iran, during which he did some research on quantum foundations. He then worked on quantum key distribution for a while and finally joined the UQ PhD programme in 2019. In addition to physics, Soroush enjoys exploring new foods, new places and new sports, and exploring history.
