Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEdoardo Altamura is a Senior Quantum Applications Engineer and research scientist with seven years’ experience translating quantum algorithms into high-impact open-source software and industry collaborations. He is a core maintainer of Qiskit Machine Learning — a library with over one million downloads — and has led cross-sector projects with IBM Quantum, AstraZeneca and Algorithmiq that together generated over £1M in collaborative R&D value. At STFC’s Hartree Centre and the National Quantum Computing Centre he has driven hybrid quantum-classical workflows, noise-mitigation techniques for QPUs, and delivered production-ready code that materially improved measurement fidelity for clients. A visiting research fellow at the University of Cambridge, he bridges quantum machine learning and quantum chemistry for drug-discovery applications while co-supervising PhD students. Trained as a computational astrophysicist (PhD, Manchester), he brings uncommon scale-up experience from billion-core simulations to practical quantum software engineering, combining deep-domain science with pragmatic, test-driven development.
