Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSunil Pai is a manager of design automation at PsiQuantum with a decade of experience bridging photonics, quantum computing, and machine learning to make scalable photonic quantum computers practical. He helped build a first-of-its-kind circuit simulation platform with interactive visualization and feedforward photonic simulations, and has patented fast calibration algorithms and low-loss photonic switching architectures. Prior roles include AI research at X (the moonshot factory) and academic leadership at Stanford developing nanophotonic neural chips, giving him rare cross-disciplinary depth from device engineering to large-scale physics-driven optimization. Sunil combines a PhD-level background in electrical engineering and CS with hands-on software and systems work, often translating complex electromagnetic simulations into deployable optimization pipelines. He’s especially skilled at turning physics-based insights into data-driven algorithms that accelerate hardware development timelines.
