As a Quantum Innovation Sector Lead at the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) in the UK, I strive to foster quantum readiness across multiple sectors including space, healthcare & Pharmaceuticals, AI, energy, financial services, and transport. I employ my technical expertise in Quantum, AI, optics, healthcare, and space systems, and a fervent passion for the innovative technologies of the future to drive strategic end-user and stakeholder engagement, aiding industries in identifying, assessing, and validating quantum computing use-cases. With prior experience leading modeling and simulation, applications, and business development for early stage Quantum and AI tech in the space sector, including two of the world's first-ever AI powered CubeSat-compatible Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) modules, I have experience bridging R&D and commercialization of early-stage AI, Quantum & Space Tech. My tenure at Craft Prospect as a Space Quantum Tech Developer and Space Applications Lead offered invaluable insights into the fusion of technology and strategy.With a PhD in Quantum Gravity and Foundations from the University of Sussex, and a double master's in theoretical physics from the Perimeter Institute, Canada, and IISER-Kolkata, India, I bring a strong academic backbone to my innovation-centric work. I've had the privilege of engaging in research and innovation across prestigious institutions such as LIGO, Caltech, Harvard, University of Geneva, and Dartmouth, gaining over nine years of experience in multicultural environments.My leadership extends beyond academia and business; I am a Director of the UK wide Prospero Space Fellowship, playing an active role developing national programs to support talent development. I am an ardent advocate for Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). I've founded and chaired nonprofits such as the New Voices in Space working group of Space Scotland and QIndia. Additionally, I have experience working at when grassroot level in India through founding initiatives like the Migrant Travel Support Network (MTSN) during the Covid augmented migrant crisis, India.As an author, speaker, and systems thinker, I regularly publish thought leadership pieces, spanning topics from intersectional feminism to modern systemic structural issues. My passion is driven by the belief in building an empathetic, kind, equitable, innovative, and capable future society. Be it through groundbreaking quantum, AI, or space tech, raising awareness, or promoting feminism and equality, my focus remains the creation of a better future for humanity.
