Emily Toomey (she/her)
Quantum Device Engineer
Microsoft Quantum
https://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-toomey-29089352/
I am currently a researcher at Microsoft's Station Q. My background is in the measurement and fabrication of nanoscale devices, with a focus on superconducting materials. Prior to joining Microsoft, I was at the Laboratory for Physical Sciences conducting research on hybrid superconductor-semiconductor systems. I received my PhD in electrical engineering from MIT, where I developed superconducting nanowire devices for neuromorphic computing applications.
Aaron Middlebrook (he/him)
Senior Staff Scientist
BD Biosciences

I received a BS in cell biology from UC Santa Cruz and then a doctorate in Immunology from the University of Arizona. My graduate work focused on T Cell development and led me postdoctoral fellowships at UCSF’s Gladstone Institute where I studied thymic reconstitution in HIV. I starting working in R&D at BD Biosciences in 2010. My work at BD involves developing flow cytometry based sample prep tools and analysis platforms. Currently I am the applications lead for our imaging cytometry platform in which I manage a small team and work closely with our hardware and software teams to develop cutting edge cell analysis tools.
Soyon Kim (she/her)
Scientist
Beyond Meat
