Researcher, advancing Quantum, AI and HPC simulation tools in a quest to solve the nation’s most challenging energy problems. Love traveling and exploring the world. Opinions are my own.

I appreciated the opportunity to present a keynote at Quantum.Tech last week, where I discussed the transformational advances by the five Doe National Quantum Initiative centers, while highlighting opportunities for industry and other institutions to partner…followed by a panel diving even deeper.

We had a full house at the APS Global Summit this morning, where the five centers highlighted the tremendous progress in QIS they have delivered in the first 4 1/2 year of operation.

I’ve worked with some talented high school students, undergrad and grad students , and postdocs. They are making a mark on the scientific community.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! the @uchichemistry.bsky.social organic chem undergrads celebrated in class today by learning about @carolynbertozzi.bskyverified.social's Nobel prize winning work! Also gave us a chance to review aromaticity, reaction rates, and ring strain!

Earlier this week, the Berkeley Lab Computing Sciences held its annual postdoc symposium. 20 of our highly talented postdocs gave 10 minute pitch talks about their research. It's a great learning experience, with a lot of mentoring. prior to the event. They did an awesome job!!!

“Quantum is a research field that needs big science, needs big teams, needs interdisciplinary teams of researchers, and that is something you will find here at Berkeley. That's what we do. We build big experiments.” - Quantum Systems Accelerator Director @wadejong.bsky.social
