Founded in 1398, SKKU is one of Asia's oldest and most prestigious universities and is widely recognised for its excellence in science, engineering, and technology research. The appointment recognises the strong research collaboration that has been developed in recent years between NPL and SKKU through projects supported by South Korea's National Research Foundation and the UK's International Science Partnerships Fund.
The Visiting Professorship provides an opportunity to deepen collaboration with SKKU and further strengthen partnerships with leading research institutions across South Korea. It also reinforces NPL's growing international profile and influence in the rapidly evolving field of quantum technologies.
The collaboration focuses on advancing RF engineering and measurement science for quantum technologies, particularly quantum computing. As quantum systems continue to scale, advances in RF modelling, cryogenic RF hardware, measurement science, and characterisation capabilities are becoming increasingly important for enabling the next generation of quantum technologies.
The appointment is expected to create new opportunities for collaborative research projects, joint funding proposals, international researcher mobility, knowledge exchange, and high-impact scientific publications.
Reflecting on the appointment, Manoj said: "This appointment reflects the strength of the collaboration that has been built between NPL and SKKU over recent years. I am excited to further develop our joint activities in quantum technologies and measurement science, and to explore new opportunities for international collaboration that will advance the scientific and engineering foundations of future quantum systems."
