Mohammed Alghadeer

Biography

Mohammed studied both physics and electrical engineering at King Fahd University (KFUPM). He was recently working at the Quantum Nanoelectronics Laboratory at University of California, Berkeley. His primarily research was in studying the presence of defects in quantum processors which result in serious loss of information that limits us today from having efficient, fully-controllable quantum computers. His additional research work is in computational materials and machine learning. He presented his work at different levels in multiple conferences and was awarded several prizes for his research. Before that, Mohammed worked also at King Abdullah University (KAUST) in developing new surface treatments to reduce coherent losses in quantum devices. As a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, he is going to study DPhil in Condensed Matter Physics with a research focus on quantum information technology. His favorite sports are weightlifting, soccer and tennis. His long-term goals include encouraging and inspiring young minds to learn about science and technology.
