Ginevra Fulco

YQSS

Ginevra Fulco is a Master’s student in Applied Physics and Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where she recently completed her Master's thesis on the design and implementation of an Active Vibration Isolation System (AVIS) for laser stabilization within the Quantum Network Group. Her research involved advanced hardware implementation, cryogenics, and high-sensitivity displacement sensing. She will soon join the German Aerospace Center (DLR), where she will work on adaptive optics for quantum satellite systems, contributing to the development of next-generation space-based quantum communication technologies.

Alongside her experimental research, Ginevra is deeply engaged in the strategic and societal implications of emerging technologies. As a member of the Young Quantum Social Scientists (YQSS) initiative at the TUM Think Tank’s Quantum Social Lab, she brings her physics perspective to the group, exploring the intersection of geopolitics and innovation governance in the quantum domain. Her specific research interests include the strategic landscape of space-based quantum communication.

Ginevra is also strongly committed to quantum science communication and outreach, actively working as a content creator across various platforms to share her journey as a physics student and researcher.

Young Quantum Social Scientists

Using challenge-based learning and design sprints, research clinics and other formats, the Young Quantum Social Scientists at the Quantum Social Lab offer the opportunity to tackle important governance challenges of Quantum applications. Each cohort consists of up to 20 students who can put their theoretical knowledge to use by addressing real-world problems. The Young Quantum Social Scientists is an initiative open to students of all study programs within Munich.
