Presenters: Alex Edson, Arushi Karki

Alex Edson, in his role as one of IBM's Quantum Ambassadors, talks to a wide variety of clients and communicate the exciting opportunities that quantum computing can bring. His interest for quantum computing was sparked during his masters course in Theoretical Physics when he worked on simulating quantum noise reduction. In his day to day work as a DevSecOps engineer, he leverages cloud technologies to create secure and resilient platforms for public sector clients as well as shortening the software development lifecycle for software engineers.

Aarushi Karki's background in Physics, specialising in Biophysics and medical research procedures, has paved the way for her deep interest in quantum technologies for healthcare applications. With over 5+ years of experience in laboratory environments, she has cultivated a passion for bridging scientific theory with real-world solutions. As a new member of IBM's Healthcare and Life Sciences (HCLS) Quantum Guild, she is excited to explore the exciting potential of quantum computing in healthcare and beyond.

In her day role, she is a data engineer developing efficient and reliable data pipelines. These pipelines automate the seamless movement of data from source to destination while performing necessary and efficient transformations along the way.
