Christian Pauly

Christian Pauly is a physicist with a strong background in condensed matter physics, having studied at RWTH Aachen University where he also completed in 2015 a PhD in the field of nano-electronics and surface science, focusing on topological insulators and advanced spectroscopic techniques for novel quantum materials and quantum phenomena. He began his career as a scientist in the R&D centre of a sensing company in the automotive sector in Luxembourg, contributing to the development of innovative sensing systems. He later transitioned to the public sector and now serves as Director for Disruptive Technologies at Luxembourg’s Ministry of the Economy. In this role, his mission is to assess and monitor cutting-edge technologies such as quantum technologies, advanced semiconductors and photonics, which have the potential to fundamentally transform industries. The objective is to develop and implement measures that promote the uptake of these technologies within the national economy by supporting research and development and facilitating their adoption by companies.
