Dr. Marie Kreĉmarová

VC (79K) Marie Kreĉmarová studied Biomedical and clinical technology at Czech Technical University in Prague (CVUT), Czech Republic, where she obtained her Bachelor and Engineer/Master degrees. During her master study she worked at the Institute of Physics (IoP), group of Materials for Nanosystems and Biointerfaces (MNB), Prague, Czech Republic on Deposition of nano-crystalline diamond films and its material and electrical characterizations (2010-2012). She started in October 2012 Ph.D. studies at the CVUT focused on development of a sensor for optical detection of charged molecules based on nitrogen-vacancy quantum emitter charge state in diamond combined with microfluidic electrochemical system. She continued work as a Ph.D. researcher at the IoP group of MNB on Plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) of diamond thin films and its material and electrical characterizations (2012-2016). Within the Erasmus program she continued her studies at the Institute for Materials Research, Photonics and Quantum Lab, Hasselt, Belgium between 2015 and 2016 to construct the sensor (thin film PECVD and physical vapour deposition (PVD), photolithography, confocal microscopy, electrochemistry). She defended the Ph.D. in June 2018. Currently as a Junior Postdoc, she is working on fabrication of 2D quantum emitters for scalable on-chip quantum photonic hybrid microsystems devices within the international project Scalable Two-Dimensional Quantum Integrated Photonics at the Institute of Materials Science of the University of Valencia.
