Christie was a Princeton Materials Science Postdoctoral Fellow exploring novel lattice geometries to study condensed matter systems with superconducting circuits. She completed her graduate work on Markus Greiner's Fermi gas microscope probing the Hubbard model with ultracold lithium atoms in an optical lattice.

Xanthe is currently a professor at the University of Sydney Australia. Xanthe was a Dicke Fellow originally from Australia. Her research was focussed on protected superconducting qubits. She completed her PhD at the University of Sydney, where she worked on scalable readout and coupling schemes for GaAs-based spin qubits. When not in lab, she…
