Daniel Muñoz is an electronic engineer and received in 2020 his Ph.D. in Photonic and Optoelectronic Systems from the Institut Supérieur de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace ISAE-SUPAERO, France. His doctoral research was focused on microwave signal and optical frequency combs generation using VCSEL-based optoelectronic systems for satellite applications. Then, he was attached to ISAE-SUPAERO as a postdoctoral fellow for modelling and emulating the effects of atmospheric turbulence on the free space propagation of an optical beam.
Daniel joined NPL in October 2021 as a Higher Scientist in the Quantum Information Processing group. His current work includes the characterization of QKD systems – prototype and fully-commercial systems – and their components such as single photon detectors at telecommunications wavelengths. He is currently coordinating the measurement activities of collaborative projects related to fibre DV-QKD systems.
