From smkahn at wisc.edu Mon Jan 3 13:13:06 2022 From: smkahn at wisc.edu (Sharon Kahn) Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2022 19:13:06 +0000 Subject: [mspqc] Welcome, Elizabeth Baldridge! Message-ID: All - I hope you'll join me in welcoming Elizabeth Baldridge as our new MSPQC student services manager! Elizabeth comes to us with a wealth of knowledge and experience, both about campus and working with master's students. I'm delighted to work with her, supporting all of our Physics graduate students! I hope you'll stop by and introduce yourself to her soon. (If you stop by today, you'll find muffins in the office!) Sharon Here's Elizabeth's full bio: Prior to joining the Department of Physics at UW-Madison as Graduate Program Manager for the Master of Science in Physics-Quantum Computing (MSPQC) program, Elizabeth Baldridge served as the Coordinator of Academic Support Services in the Center for the First-Year Experience at UW-Madison and the Academic Advising Coordinator for the Master of Science in Information Systems and Master of Science in Business Analytics programs at the University of Utah's David Eccles School of Business. She earned a Master of Science in Student Affairs Administration in Higher Education from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and a Bachelor of Art in English from Coastal Carolina University. Elizabeth approaches all experiences as moments of learning (and teaching) and has experience in academic support and advising, teaching and learning, program coordination, and service-learning and other high-impact practices in higher education. She is passionate about higher education policy; professional, technical, and academic writing and writing support administration; and developing strategies to best support students of diverse populations and create community within academic programs. Elizabeth is excited to join the Department of Physics as Graduate Program Manager for the MSPQC and help advance student support services in the department! Something that drew Elizabeth to this role, is the opportunity to help bridge connections for Physics students to department administration and faculty. Ultimately, Elizabeth sees this position as one in which she can help students build a sense of belonging at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and she is excited to contribute to the campus community through her work.

These are rapidly developing fields with recent discoveries and breakthroughs. The NSF-funded Quantum Leap Challenge Institute, Hybrid Quantum Architectures and Networks (HQAN) program at the University of Illinois, in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin and the University of Chicago, industry, national laboratories, and other research institutions is developing multiple research approaches, integrating expertise from physics, materials science, engineering, mathematics, and computer science. The growing field of quantum science and engineering bridges quantum science and conventional engineering. In a quantum system, the qubits themselves are simple, but fine-tuning a system surrounding them is an immense challenge. There is need to engineer the control systems ? things like lasers, voltages, and radio frequency signals. Check out some of the internship opportunities to gain experience and become a part of the growing quantum ecosystem. If you are interested please share your information at this google form and contact Bhavna Hirani (bhavna at illinois.edu) with a resume. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
