Area of ​​interest

My current research focuses on superconducting microwave devices and cryogenic RF instrumentation, with particular emphasis on travelling-wave kinetic inductance parametric amplifiers. I work on the development, characterization, and validation of parametric amplifiers based on superconducting transmission lines, as well as the design of reliable cryogenic RF measurement protocols. More broadly, I am interested in low-noise microwave electronics, nonlinear wave propagation in superconducting structures, precision measurement techniques, and test automation for scientific instrumentation.

Biography

Ryan Berriel received his Electrical Engineering degree from the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), followed by an MSc in Power Electronics from COPPE/UFRJ, Brazil, and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Université de Lille, France. During his doctoral work, he focused on system-level modeling and energy-efficiency strategies, combining simulation, validation, and applied engineering analysis.

Over the course of his career, Ryan has gained experience in electronics prototyping, PCB design, automated testing, and scientific instrumentation. He is currently a researcher at the Millimeter-wave Laboratory in Chile, where he develops and validates cryogenic RF measurement setups and works on superconducting parametric amplifiers, including travelling-wave kinetic inductance amplifiers. His work brings together microwave measurements, automation, instrumentation reliability, and experimental characterization for advanced electronic and cryogenic systems.
