Advisor, analyst, author, speaker, and moderator in emerging technologies, including quantum computing and sensing, advanced AI software and application, and AI semiconductor accelerators.

As an Adjunct Associate Professor in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, I taught a graduate seminar on quantum computing and other quantum technologies, such as sensing. I brought in industry experts from vendors to give the students knowledge from the scientists and engineers developing these technologies. I used my book Dancing with Qubits for the quantum computing material.
