He studied physics at ETH and during his masters he worked on a pulsed high power laser system that will be used for laser spectroscopy. A lot of skills he learned there are very applicable to the internship he is currently doing at Polariton Technologies. At Polariton he is working in the back end of line team to determine the reliability and persistence of our modules. In his free time he likes to do sports (volleyball, mountainbiking etc.) and he loves to sing. Therefore he is involved in a variety of choirs and other music projects.

Valentino joined the company in July 2021 as a Packaging and Back-End Engineer, tackling the various challenges when going from chip level to module level and improving the long-term stability of our products.
His favourite leisure activity is best captured by a coworker’s comment: “Engineer by day, guitarist by night.” Apart from music, he is an avid skier, likes to squash, play hockey, and read books.
