New Challenges in Quantum Communications: Applied Use Cases in the UAE and Global Ambitions
Dr. Sana Amairi-Pyka
Lead Scientist for Quantum Communications at the Technology Innovation Institute (TII)






Dr. Sana Amairi-Pyka is the Lead Scientist for Quantum Communications at the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Since 2021 she has been leading the Abu Dhabi Quantum Optical Ground Station (ADQOGS) project, aiming to position the UAE as a pioneer in space-based quantum communication technologies and ensure the global availability of secure free-space optical communication networks.
Amairi-Pyka earned her Ph.D. in Quantum Optical Metrology in 2014 from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Germany. During her five-year postdoctoral research position at Humboldt University of Berlin, she developed and tested novel laser sources for space missions, including the European Space Agency’s Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). In 2017, her scientific accomplishments were recognized with substantial funding from the Berlin Senate Administration BCP, and she was named an ambassadress for the “Brain City Berlin” campaign. Transitioning to industry in 2020, she worked as a Project Leader at the European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC), enhancing the European ecosystem in photonics, quantum, and space industries. She has been an external expert for the European Commission since 2017.
