His research spans three areas: protein dynamics and conformational statistics, DNA dynamics and base pair sequence elastic variability, and applications of micro and nanofabrication technology to cellular and molecular biology. He is a master at combining physical tools and theories with biochemical techniques to attack fundamental problems in protein and nucleic acid dynamics and function.

In 1994 he became a professor of physics at the University of Göttingen and in 1995 he accepted a chair position at the University of Innsbruck, where he works with trapped ions for quantum computation, quantum simulation, and quantum metrology. He is a research director at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Innsbruck and the co-founder of Alpine Quantum Technologies GmbH, a company developing commercial quantum computers.

He earned his PhD in experimental physics at Harvard University in 2015 with advisor Professor Mikhail Lukin, where his research focused on quantum sensing with defects in diamond. He was subsequently a National Research Council postdoctoral fellow at JILA: a joint institute of NIST and the University of Colorado Boulder, in the research group of Professor Jun Ye from 2015 to 2017, working on metrology and quantum science with optical lattice atomic clocks.
