We are thrilled to announce that our stellar postdoc, Dr. Natalia Herrera Valencia, has won Heriot-Watt University’s top research prize for her groundbreaking PhD dissertation on high-dimensional entanglement. This recognition is another jewel in her crown, a testament to Natalia’s contributions to the field of quantum information and communication.
Her remarkable journey is marked by an impressive collection of 10 published papers, including three highly cited first-author publications. These contributions have garnered over 500 citations to date, showcasing her exceptional impact at this early stage in her career.
Natalia’s thesis includes the demonstration of the unprecedented transport of quantum entanglement through a complex medium—a result that was featured on the cover of Nature Physics. It also caught the eye of the global media, including outlets such as BBC News. Congrats Natalia!
