Nine doctoral students in Quantum Computing will each receive $40,000 annually for three years through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada’s Canada Graduate Research Scholarship, and the scholarships recognize excellence in research training and support the next generation of quantum scientists. The IQC student recipients represent five home departments across Faculties of Engineering, Science and Mathematics at the University of Waterloo.
“IQC is continually impressed by our students’ accomplishments,” says Norbert Lütkenhaus, IQC Executive Director and Professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy. “This recognition is well-deserved and reflects their contributions to shaping the future of quantum science technology.”
NSERC Canada Graduate Research Scholarships Support Nine IQC Doctoral Students
These scholarships, valued at $40,000 per year for three years, provide substantial financial support for advanced study in quantum computing, allowing recipients to focus intensely on their research. The nine students come from diverse academic backgrounds, including the Departments of Combinatorics and Optimization, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Pure Mathematics and Physics and Astronomy, demonstrating the interdisciplinary nature of the field.
Specific pairings include Benjamin Wong, supervised within the Department of Applied Mathematics and Andres Schang, whose work bridges Applied Mathematics with Electrical and Computer Engineering. Jiayue Yang is collaborating with Boris Ragula; Department of Applied Mathematics: Department of Applied Mathematics, and Henri Phillippe Norbert Morin; Department of Applied Mathematics: Department of Physics and Astronomy.
Jiayue Yang is also working with Ireneo James Membrere and Oscar Lautsch, both from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Angéline Lafleur and Noah Gorgichuk, from the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Physics and Astronomy, respectively.
