Internships
CQN believes that hands-on experience outside the academic laboratory is an important part of graduate student education. In our first full year of operation, CQN graduate students worked at internships in the following organizations:
- ASML
- Authentic8
- NASA
- Psi Quantum
- Qubitekk
- Sandia National Laboratories
Below, you can read about some of our graduate and undergraduate students currently exploring internship opportunities.
Shahrooz Pooryousef
Degree track: PhD
Estimated graduation date: 2023
Interests: I am interested in using learning techniques for networking problems (both classical and quantum networks).
Relevant experience: I have +5 years of research experience in resource allocation in classical and quantum networks.
Daniel Assumpção
Degree Track: PhD in Applied Physics from Harvard
Estimated graduation date: June 2024
Interests: integrated photonics, quantum networking, nanophotonics
Relevant experience: Laboratory work in integrated photonics / quantum networking at Harvard, worked at Samsung R&D on designing nanophotonic structures to integrate with consumer electronic devices.
Ali Cox
Degree track: PhD
Estimated graduation date: 2024
Relevant experience: Designed and analyzed the performance of an entanglement-assisted barcode reader, obtaining an upper bound for the Chernoff exponent for discriminating among arbitrary objects. Simulated state trajectories of a superconducting cavity qubit to determine its most likely path under continuous partial measurement. Performed absorption and emission spectroscopy on CdSe quantum dots to characterize their size and compare with the theoretical prediction of the spherical well model. Proposed a new sail design for single-hull sail boats and optimized its parameters using computational fluid dynamics.
