Ivette Fuentes earned doctoral degree at Imperial College London in 2003
under the supervision of Peter Knight and Vlatko Vedral, moving on to
become a postdoctoral fellow at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical
Physics. She is a professor in physics at the university of
Southampton. She researches at the overlap of Quantum Theory and General Relativity, where she pioneered the study and application of quantum information and metrology in curved space time. Her current focus lies with the application of quantum technologies for fundamental physics proposing new ways to use quantum systems to measure gravitational waves, dark energy and dark matter.
