Patrick Maletinsky was born in 1979 in Baden, AG and grew up in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. He studied Physics at ETH Zurich and had research stays at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris and JILA in Boulder, Colorado. He completed his doctoral studies under the supervision of Professor Atac Imamoglu, focusing on optical studies of hyperfine interactions in individual, self-assembled quantum dots. His doctoral thesis was awarded the Schläfli Prize by the Swiss Academy of Sciences in 2010. From 2008 to 2011, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Amir Yacoby at Harvard University, where he developed and applied novel methods for nanoscale magnetic field sensing. In 2012, he assumed the Georg-H.-Endress Professorship and became an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Basel, later promoted to Associate Professor in February 2017. His research is driven by the goal of establishing and employing innovative quantum technologies for nanoscale quantum sensing and imaging, focusing on individual quantum systems and their applications to scientific problems. He has specialized approaches to problems in condensed matter physics, particularly in mesoscopic systems, currently focusing on the use of Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center spins for sensing applications. Recent highlights include coupling NV spins to mechanical oscillators and advancements in nanoscale sensing and imaging of weak magnetic fields.
