Sarah is a physics PhD student working on design of new superconducting circuit components for protected qubits from disordered superconductors.  She is a 2023 NSF GRFP recipient and works at the CU ECEE Quantum Lab and with the Advanced Microwave Photonics group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.  Sarah received her B.S. in Engineering Physics from the Colorado School of Mines in 2020. Before starting her PhD, she spent a year teaching physics as an adjunct professor at the Colorado School of Mines while continuing her research on vortex dynamics in type-II superconductors at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.  In her free time, Sarah performs cultural dances with and volunteers at the Filipino American Community of Colorado, she enjoys reading (particularly poetry and history) and art, and she strives to be an active member of her communities.

Brian is an ECEE PhD student in the Gyenis Lab. Prior to joining 91¸£ÀûÉç, he received his B.S. in Engineering Physics from Cornell University in 2022. With a background in computational physics and physics-to-systems approaches, Brian researched photonic and digitally-accelerated computing to expand the Coherent Ising Machine to solve NP-hard optimization problems as part of the McMahon Lab at Cornell. In his free time, Brian likes to explore the outdoors by hiking, skiing, and biking around 91¸£ÀûÉç and the mountains.

Pablo is a PhD student in the Gyenis lab working on protected qubits. He recieved his Masters working at JILA in the Lehnert lab doing work on quantum acoustics. Pablo obtained a B.S. in physics and in mathematics at Villanova University, where he worked on modelling black hole binary observations. In his free time, Pablo is part of the CU Triathlon team and enjoys all of the outdoor activities in town.
