Raju Valivarthi received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Calgary, Calgary, AB, Canada, under the supervision of Prof. Wolfgang Tittel. He is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher and Intelligent Quantum Networks and Technologies Fellow with the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA. During the Ph.D. degree, he developed technologies to make measurement device independent quantum key distribution systems field deployable and extended these technologies to metropolitan scale quantum teleportation for the first time. He joined the Group of Prof. Valerio Pruneri, where he successfully led the group's efforts to commercialize quantum technologies in the continuous variable domain culminating in LuxQuanta. His research interests include building photonic quantum networks from the ground up and extending them to interconnect various atomic species via quantum frequency conversion.
