- ππ½ Hi, Iβm Onri @OJB-Quantum. I'm a DinΓ© (Navaho) tribesman, 100% Indigenous American, doing PhD work on quantum computing chip hardware & classical memory devices.
- π My interest is in quantum hardware engineering, nanofabrication engineering, quantum computation, generative design, & data-driven 3D modeling.
- π’ I'm a Quantum Hardware Engineer at IBM Research, Yorktown Heights, New York (TJ Watson Research Center). At IBM I advance the scaling/ accuracy of quantum systems via superconducting parametric amplifier materials research for higher density quantum processor readout. I also write documentation on Bluefors dilution fridge components and superconducting chiplet microwave measurement automation. (This made me the 1st Native/ Indigenous American Quantum Hardware Engineer/ Quantum Computer Engineer).
- π± As an NSF Graduate Research Fellow, Iβm leading a team of quantum hardware engineers for the duration of my PhD program @UMN. I work on the integration of nature-inspired designs into quantum processor chips & cryogenic magnetic random-access memory made of sustainable metallic spintronic materials, known as beyond-CMOS, in my nanofabrication facility (cleanroom). I spend a lot of time back & forth between my office & the cleanroom.
