Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYoussef Moawad is a postdoctoral researcher and soon-to-be PhD graduate in Quantum Computing who combines a decade of software engineering experience with deep expertise in FPGA-driven hardware acceleration. His research focuses on accelerating quantum circuit simulation on low-cost reconfigurable hardware, blending digital design, hardware–software co-design, and parallel computing using toolchains like Intel OpenCL/oneAPI, SYCL, and Xilinx Vitis. Equally comfortable in software teams, he ships production-quality systems in Python, Rust, C/C++ and builds cross-platform apps with React Native, bringing an engineer’s pragmatism to R&D problems. Based in Glasgow, he has a track record of teaching, leading student tech societies, and delivering education platforms, which informs his clear communication of complex ideas. He’s seeking roles in R&D, FPGA/hardware engineering, or quantum-classical hybrid systems where his uncommon mix of hands-on FPGA acceleration and quantum programming (Qiskit, Cirq) can shorten the path from research to product.
