Chris Vale, Director, Quantum Technologies Future Science Platform, CSIRO
CSIRO is Australia’s national science agency tasked with addressing the nation’s greatest challenges through innovative scientific solutions. In recent years, CSIRO has invested heavily in quantum science and technologies via a range of programs that span quantum computing, sensing and communications.
In this presentation, I will give an overview of the research and goals of CSIRO’s quantum activities, particularly within the Quantum Technologies Future Science Platform, and discuss opportunities for collaboration.
About the presenter
Chris Vale is Professor of Physics and Director of the Quantum Technologies Future Science Platform at CSIRO. Prior to joining CSIRO, he led an experimental research program at Swinburne University of Technology using gases of atoms cooled to nanoKelvin temperatures to study the properties and dynamics of many-body quantum systems.
Prof Vale has been a Chief Investigator in two ARC Centres of Excellence in Future Low-Energy Electronics Technologies (FLEET) and Quantum Atom Optics (ACQAO), has held an ARC Future Fellowship and several ARC Discovery and Linkage Infrastructure and Equipment projects. He has been actively engaged in the promotion of physics and quantum science through FLEET, the Australian Institute of Physics, conference organisation and public outreach.
