Nick Bronn is a Research Staff Member in the Experimental Quantum Computing group at the IBM TJ Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. He received B.S.'s in Applied Mathematics and Physics and an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Georgia Tech, a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Mathematics from Cambridge University as a Gates Cambridge Scholar, and a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics from the University of Illinois supported in part by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. Since joining IBM in 2013, Nick has been responsible for qubit device design, packaging, and cryogenic measurement, working towards scaling up larger numbers of qubits on a device and integration with novel implementations of microwave and cryogenic hardware.

Soolu Thomas joined IBM in 2019 after receiving her bachelors degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Mahatma Gandhi University in Kerala, India. She is a software developer at IBM Quantum. Her expertise is in OpenPulse, which provides a language for specifying pulse level control of a general quantum device independent of the specific hardware implementation. She also serves as a technical administrator for translated Qiskit Documentation.

Wen-Sen (Vince) is a Physics grad student focus on realizing quantum devices for superconducting qubits such as super-inductors and compact resonators. He is a former IBM quantum intern, and he loves hackathons to brainstorm with brilliant minds. His main experience with qiskit hackathons are focusing on solid state system modeling and quantum games, and he can't wait to work with NYU qiskitters!
