- 👋🏽 Hi, I’m Onri @OJB-Quantum. I'm a Diné (Navaho) tribesman, 100% Indigenous American, doing PhD work on quantum computing chip hardware.
- 👀 My interest is in quantum hardware engineering, nanofabrication engineering, quantum computation, generative design, & data-driven 3D modeling.
- 🏢 I'm currently 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 cryogenic/ quantum-limited amplifier engineering for higher density quantum processor readout. I also write documentation on Bluefors dilution fridge components and quantum chip measurement automation.
- 🌱 As an NSF Graduate Research Fellow, I’m leading a team of quantum hardware engineers for the duration of my PhD program @UMN, working on the integration of nature-inspired designs into quantum processor chips & cryogenic magnetic random-access memory made of beyond-CMOS nanotechnology in my nanofabrication facility (cleanroom). I spend a lot of time back & forth between my office & the cleanroom.
