Samuel Sonderegger is a Entrepreneur | Physics PhD | Bringing Academic Discoveries to Industrial Maturity at Attolight. He possess expertise in photonics, nanotechnology, physics, fundraising, startup development and 12 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I have had the pleasure to work with Samuel as CTI coach for 5 years now. Samuel is an energetic and determined person, with a clear focus on results and the ability to make it happen. Not only does he have a vision for his company but he can articulate the steps to move forward, and then execute.
Not a surprise thus to see leading institutions and individuals put their trust in Attolight!", "Samuel is a highly motivated and very competent scientist.
He has been working very hard to launch his start-up company Attolight.", and "Samuel is a brilliant and enthusiastic person. He recently finished his PhD with Professor Deveaud Plédran (http://people.epfl.ch/benoit.deveaud-pledran) a specialist of Bose Einstein condensation, commonly called the fifth state of matter.
He did not wait for the end of his PhD to launch his start-up project and developed in a very short period of time his entrepreneurial ability. He has been a winner of “venture leaders”, an award given to the best entrepreneurial projects in Switzerland.
Samuel Sonderegger is among the most promising young innovators based in Europe: Attolight (http://www.atto-light.com) deals with the measurement of ultrafast movements in nanostructures. Though the market may look small today, there is here the potential for disruption all the more that the “buzz” created around nanotechnologies has not generated anything of real interest today, the word being used for too many different topics. However understanding the behavior of matter at such scales will become critical when all experts know that the Moore law is reaching it limits in the semiconductor industry. Today, there is a need to understand how transistors, lasers behave at nanoscale level for extremely short events. There is an element of speculation in the real potential applications of all this, but it is far more interesting than most nanotechnologies which have been announced as promising in the recent years."
Listed skills include Photonics, Nanotechnology, Physics, Fundraising, and 13 others.
