Ana Silva joined the QMAI as a postdoc in November 2023. Her main research focus on applying machine learning methods to efficiently estimate quantum state properties in quantum devices.

Guliuxin Jin joined QMAI as a PhD candidate in January 2021. Her research concerns efficient parameter estimation in large scale quantum systems and topological materials. Jin obtained her masters degree from ETH Zürich.

Arash Ahmadi joined QMAI as a PhD candidate in February 2021. His research project concerns study of condensed matter systems using tools from quantum information and artifical intelligence. Arash obtained his BSc and MSc from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences in Iran.

Vinicius Fonseca Hernandes joined QMAI as a PhD candidate in October 2021. Vinicius holds a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Physics from the Federal University of Pelotas, Brazil. In his PhD, Vinicius is going to implement new artificial intelligence methods to efficiently control quantum devices.

Aram Shojaei first joined QMAI as a master student vising from University of Padova. She re-joined the group as PhD candidate in 2024. She is working with us on machine learning automation of the control and calibration of quantum computing chips. 

After joining QMAI in November 2023, Thomas Spriggs works on using quantum machine learning to tackle previously intractable calculations concerning high energy physics, particularly lattice gauge theories. He obtained his undergraduate and master's degree in theoretical physics at Durham University before completing his PhD at Swansea University researching lattice gauge theories using classical computing.

Dmytro Oriekhov joined QMAI as a postdoc in November 2023. Dmytro holds PhD degree in Physics from Leiden University with a title “On quantum transport in flat-band materials”. During the postdoc, Dmytro will focus on different applications of novel materials for quantum devices.

Valentina Gualtieri joined QMAI as a masters student in January 2022 and as PhD student in January 2023. She is working on automated tuning and control of large scale quantum devices.

Valentina holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of Milan and masters degree in Applied Physics from TU Delft.

Sam Katiraee-Far joined QMAI in February 2024 for his master thesis. His research focusses on automated spin readout in quantum dots. Sam holds an Applied Physics bachelor's degree from TU Delft and he is now in his second year of the Applied Physics master at TU Delft. 

Saqar Khaleefah joined QMAI in February 2024 for his master thesis. His research is concerned with the use of machine learning to investigate phase transitions in quantum many-body problems. He obtained his bachelor's degree in Applied Physics at TU Delft and is now in the second year of the MSc Applied Physics programme. 

Joey Rogers joined QMAI in February 2024 for his master thesis. His research is focused on the automated tuning of quantum dot devices. Joey holds a bachelor's degree in liberal arts and sciences from Maastricht University and is now in the second year of the Applied Physics master at TU Delft.
