Career Connections: Aleksander Kubica at Yale University
Aleksander Kubica, Assistant Professor at Yale University and former Research Scientist at AWS will give a career talk on his experiences in both industry and academia, present a short lecture on quantum chess, and take questions from the audience.
Career Connections: Lightsynq at Princeton University
In this Career Connections talk, Dr. Mihir Bhaskar (CEO and Co-Founder of Lightsynq) will share insights from his career journey: first building a science experiment in the lab as a PhD student, then moving to AWS to launch a new R&D initiative, and finally starting a quantum technology company to build a product. He will also talk about the integrated photonic capabilities his team has developed along the way, and how he thinks they can solve key bottlenecks in quantum information technology.
