Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJoel Pendleton is a founder and hands-on CTO building silicon-chip quantum computers from San Francisco, combining 11 years of applied research and ML engineering with startup leadership. He co-founded Conductor Quantum after a string of research roles where he developed ML-driven control and automation for superconducting and quantum-dot devices, and previously led an AI-driven science assistant startup. Joel bridges deep physics (MSci first-class, DPhil in progress at Oxford) with practical tooling—contributing to open-source ML interoperability work such as tensor frontends and NumPy extensions to make research code portable. He’s comfortable moving between low-level quantum hardware challenges and high-level software systems, and brings a rare mix of simulator, ML, and lab automation expertise to scale qubit control.
