Antón Rodríguez Otero | Quantum Computing Scientist at Fujitsu
Antón is a physicist and mathematician with a master's degree from TU Delft in Applied Phyisics (Physics for quantum devices and quantum computing track). Now, at FSAS (Fujitsu) International Quantum Center, he identifies and implements use cases for Quantum and Quantum-Inspired technologies in different industries; and participates in outreach activities to help democratize quantum technologies. He is also a part time lecturer in the Quantum Computing master in Universidad de Nebrija.
Meijian Li | Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Santiago de Compostela
Meijian Li obtained her Ph.D. in nuclear physics in 2019 from Iowa State University. She then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Jyväskylä in Finland. She is now a postdoctoral researcher at the Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE) of the University of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. She is interested in tackling QCD problems using non-perturbative light-front Hamiltonian approaches, with implementing high-performance computing and quantum computing techniques, particularly in jet evolution, hadron structures, and gluon saturation effects.
Wenyang Qian | Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at University of Santiago de Compostela
Wenyang Qian received his Ph.D. in 2020 under Professor James Vary at Iowa State University, and he is now a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions postdoc fellow working with Professor Carlos Salgado at Galician Institute of High Energy Physics (IGFAE) of the University of Santiago de Compostela. Wenyang's doctoral research focuses on the understanding of hadron structures using light-front Hamiltonian formalism. With the rapid development of quantum technology, he has been working on solving bound-state and time-dependent problems using quantum computing. His recent research interests are quantum jet simulation, hadronic structure functions, and thermalization.
Juan Santos Suárez | Predoctoral Researcher at University of Santiago de Compostela
Juan is a theoretical physicist currently pursuing a PhD at the Galician Institute of High Energy Physics (IGFAE) at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), where he also completed his undergraduate and master’s studies in physics. His research focuses on the AdS/CFT correspondence, particularly on quantum simulations of holographic systems. He investigates wormhole-inspired teleportation protocols and the role of chaotic dynamics in enabling this form of quantum communication.
Sergio holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Santiago de Compostela and an MBA from the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées in Paris. He began his professional career in Portugal as a member of the team that established the Iberian International Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL). In 2013, he returned to Galicia and worked for the Dirección General de Innovación y Salud Pública de la Consejería de Sanidad de la Xunta de Galicia, and later as Innovation Director of ACIS, the agency responsible for implementing the R&D strategy of the Galician Health Service (SERGAS). Since June 2018, he has been working at Bahía Software as Director of Innovation where he has been driving the research lines in quantum computing, focusing on optimization, distributed quantum computing and Quantum Machine Learning solutions.
Cristóbal holds a degree in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology from the University of Santiago de Compostela, a PhD in Biomedicine and Molecular Oncology from the University of Oviedo, and an MBA from ESAME. With over 10 years of experience in R&D, his research has focused on molecular alterations in cancer and cellular metabolism, particularly at the genomic, epigenomic, and transcriptomic levels. He completed research stays at the Stem Cell Institute (University of Cambridge), where he analysed transcriptomic data from clinical trials in myeloproliferative diseases. Cristóbal works as Project Manager in the Innovation Department at Bahia Software where he leads R&D projects in eHealth and biomedical research, with a focus on data management, artificial intelligence and quantum technologies applied to various biomedical domains.
