Acceptance Speech × Acceptance Speech × 2020 Recipient Photo: 2020 Recipient of IEEE CSC Graduate Study Fellowship in Applied Superconductivity Farzad Faramarzi My main project is to simulate, design and fabricate a dual-purpose superconducting circuit that can operate as an on-chip Fourier transfer spectrometer (FTS) and a traveling-wave kinetic inductance parametric amplifier (TKIP). By taking advantage of the nonlinearity, we can design novel superconducting circuits that can be used in astrophysics and quantum computing.

Acceptance Speech × Acceptance Speech × 2020 Recipient Photo: 2020 Recipient of IEEE CSC Graduate Study Fellowship in Applied Superconductivity Gleb Krylov I would like to apply my expertise to develop novel approaches for control and readout of qubits, in particular, within large scale systems. Another important topic in this area is the 3-D integration. I intend to investigate the challenges introduced by the third dimension, including thermal and magnetic sources of decoherence, and optimal control within dense complex arrays. In addition, I would like to develop EDA approaches for intermediate and large-scale quantum processors. Acceptance Speech × Acceptance Speech × 2020 Recipient Photo: 2020 Recipient of IEEE CSC Graduate Study Fellowship in Applied Superconductivity Jun Ma I plan to contribute to the field of applied superconductivity through four important and promising research directions in my future career: fundamental phenomenon and mechanism of superconductivity, numerical modelling on high-temperature superconductor (HTS), HTS high field magnet, and HTS medical applications. Most importantly, the responsibility I feel highly motivated to shoulder is by no means only limited to technology and research. Therefore, I will continuously strive to create the equal and sterling learning opportunities that I have been given for every worthy student. Acceptance Speech × Acceptance Speech × 2020 Recipient Photo: 2020 Recipient of IEEE CSC Graduate Study Fellowship in Applied Superconductivity Miranda Thompson I intend to contribute a more comprehensive understanding of Josephson junction (JJ) barrier physics to the field of applied superconductivity. More accurate models will directly lead to more accurate simulations, and more accurate simulations are necessary for designing better working superconductive circuits.
