Fedor Jelezko is currently a director of the Institute of Quantum Optics at Ulm University, director of the Centre for Integrated Quantum Science and Technology and member of Heidelberg Academy of Sciences. 

He studied in Minsk (Belarus) and received his Ph.D. in 1998. After finishing the habilitation in 2010 at Stuttgart University he was appointed as a professor of experimental physics in Ulm in 2011. His research interests are at the intersection of fundamental quantum science and quantum technologies. His research team is exploring applications of spin qubits in diamond for information processing, communication, sensing, and imaging. Outside academia, he is involved in the development of quantum technologies based on spin qubits. Prof. Jelezko and his colleagues are now pursuing its exploitation by means of their start-up companies NVision Imaging Technologies GmbH and Diatope GmbH
