Fireside Chat with Thomas McConkey

Join us for casual conversations with quantum researchers.

Thomas McConkey

What makes a superconducting qubit tick? How does experience in a research lab prepare you for working on major projects after graduation?
 

We’ll talk about these topics and more with IQC alumnus Thomas McConkey, now a Microwave Design Engineer at IBM Q, at the next virtual fireside chat.

Tune in live on YouTube.

IQC Alumni Lecture Series: Corey Rae McRae

Join alum Corey Rae McRae, PhD ’18, as she shares her career journey and talks about current research.

Corey Rae McRae is the director of the Boulder Cryogenic Quantum Testbed, as well as a research associate at the University of Colorado Boulder and NIST Boulder. Her research focuses on materials and metrology for superconducting quantum computing. McRae grew up in London, ON, and received her PhD from IQC in 2018 from Matteo Mariantoni's group. She credits her research success to cold calling and not being afraid to get in over her head.
