Christie Chiu
Ph.D. 2019, Physics, Harvard
B.S. 2013, Physics and Applied Math, MIT

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 Croot

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…

Andras Gyenis
Princeton University, Ph.D. 2016
Budapest University of Technology and Economics, M.Sc., B.Sc. 2010.
Andras has a Ph.D. in Physics from Princeton where he worked in the Yazdani lab working on strongly correlated and topological electronic systems. Currently, his research is focused on the new generation of protected superconducting qubits. He hails from Hungary and is a rugged outdoorsman.

Alicia Kollár was a Princeton Materials Science Postdoctoral Fellowship with Andrew Houck from 2017-2019, working on quantum simulation of solid-state physics using circuit QED lattices (hyperbolic and flat-band lattices). She is now an Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland, where he research will focus on using novel coplanar…
Darius Sadri
Ph.D. Stanford University
Darius Sadri was postdoc in our group. He has a PhD from Stanford in string theory, did a postdoc in condensed matter theory, and is now learning to be a quantum experimentalist.
Will Shanks
Ph.D. Yale University
Will E. "Coyote" Shanks was a post-doc in our lab. He earned his PhD at Yale measuring persistent currents in normal metal rings, and is now built a scanning qubit experiment to image photons in large arrays. The Coyote is now a research staff member at IBM
