Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPaul Kassebaum is a physicist-turned-technology leader with seven years of experience building partnerships and technical programs at the intersection of quantum computing, machine learning, and public sector use cases. After a Ph.D. in theoretical physics he supported large experimental facilities at MathWorks, helped forge global system-integrator partnerships at IBM Quantum, and led public sector technical strategy at SandboxAQ before becoming Head of Public Sector & Partnerships at Alice & Bob. He combines deep technical fluency—evidenced by hands-on documentation work for the widely used Qiskit project—with programmatic skills in proposal development, delivery, and IP creation for near-term noisy and future fault-tolerant quantum systems. Based in New York, he brings a rare mix of academic rigor, practical engineering empathy, and business-facing partnership experience that helps translate cutting-edge quantum research into deployable government and industry solutions.
