Synopsis
We will be joined by three amazing speakers. You should leave the event with three different perspectives on the sectoral opportunities available in the future, once we harness the power of quantum computing.
About the speakers
Troels Steenstrup - Director, Head of Machine Learning and Quantum Technologies, KPMG
Troels is Head of Machine Learning and Quantum Technologies at KPMG Denmark and head of KPMG's Global Quantum Hub.
He has a PhD in theoretical quantum mathematics and works at the intersection of mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science and business. He has been working with Machine Learning for more than 10 years and with Quantum Technologies for more than 5 years.
Troels has a deep passion for technology and for bringing theory to practice - seeing technology solutions come to life at clients is a main driver for him. He combines a strong theoretical foundation with business understanding and pragmatic solution design to create value for clients.
Gabriele Compostella - Industry Application Consultant, IBM Quantum Industry and Technical Services
Gabriele is a Quantum Industry Applications Consultant at IBM, supporting automotive and manufacturing companies along their journey towards quantum utility in relevant industrial solutions.
Gabriele holds a Ph.D. in particle Physics and spent more than 10 years doing academic research in large scientific collaborations at Fermilab and CERN, where he contributed to physics data analyses and distributed computing systems.
Before joining IBM, he spent several years at the Volkswagen Group, where he led technical groups implementing industrial applications of artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics and quantum computing within the automotive sector.
Dr. Araceli Venegas-Gomez - Founder and CEO, QURECA
Dr. Araceli Venegas-Gomez spent several years working for Airbus in Germany and France as an aerospace engineer, before falling in love with quantum mechanics. She then decided to follow her passion for physics, and moved to Scotland to pursue a PhD in quantum simulation at the University of Strathclyde.
Following discussions with the different quantum stakeholders she had over the last years, Araceli identified the need to bridge the gap between businesses and academia, as well as to raise the quantum awareness to the general public. Continuing her work on outreach advocating quantum technologies, she was named the “quantum ambassador”, after winning the Optical Society Milton and Rosalind Chang Pivoting fellowship in 2019.
Araceli founded her own company called QURECA (Quantum Resources and Careers) to create a link between the different stakeholders in the quantum community through a common language, and to generate global opportunities with quantum technologies. QURECA provides a range of professional services, business development, and the solution to the quantum workforce skills bottleneck: the first online platform for quantum training and resourcing, to support individuals and businesses to be part of the quantum revolution.
