Anna Nowak completed five years studies of Physics at the Politechnica Wrocławska (PWr, Wrocław, Poland) and graduated in 2004. She continued scientific research in the Institute of Physics PWr during next three years as a PhD student working on temperature dependent persistent photo-effects assosieted to deep center traps and quantum dots in semiconductor materials. In 2007 she received a grant from the Autonomic Comunity of Madrid (CAM) and got a job position as support research staff in the Department of Materials Physics at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (UAM, Madrid, Spain). In 2008-2011 she was a member of the SEMICUAM group. During that period she built an experimental setup to measure single photon emission from individual quantum dots in III-V bulk semiconductors. She completed Master in Physics of Light and Matter in 2008, and in 2011 she defended her PhD thesis, titled: “Quantum – Dot Single Photon Sources for Quantum Information Treatment”. In 2012-2013 she was a postdoctoral fellow in the Laboratoire de Photonique et de Nanostructure (LPN- CRNS, Marcoussis, France). She worked on development of electrically controlled single photon source device based on a single semiconductor QD coupled to a micro-pillar cavity. In 2014 she moved to private sector. In 2022 she got job position in the CSIC’s spin-off company: g2-Zero S.L. (Getafe, Spain) as product development engineer, coordinating the product development activities at the company with a work of colaboration teams in the Instituto de Micro y Nanotecnología (IMN-CSIC, Tres Cantos, Spain) and the Instituto de Sistemas Optoelectrónicos y Microtecnología (ISOM-UPM, Madrid, Spain). In 2023 she joined the OptoMechanicalSensors Lab (CSIC, Tres Cantos, Spain) as a micro- and nanofabrication engineer.
