BiB: Virtual Global Learning Mixer - Accelerating Machine Learning with Quantum Computing
We are excited to announce an upcoming virtual event: Bits in Bio Global Learning Mixer!
Join us for an inspiring session filled with networking opportunities and an insightful talk from a leading expert in the quantum computing field, Laia Domingo. This event is designed to connect our remote community members and foster knowledge sharing at the intersection of science and technology.
Speaker Bio:
Laia is an experienced data and quantum algorithm scientist with a strong passion for applying cutting-edge technology to real-world challenges. Holding a PhD in Quantum Machine Learning, she serves as the Chief Science Officer at Ingenii. Her mission at Ingenii is to accelerate the adoption of quantum algorithms and quantum solutions in the areas of life and environmental sciences.
Talk Summary:
Quantum computing is a new mode of computing that enables fundamentally new algorithmic techniques by using quantum mechanical properties to perform certain computations significantly faster than classical computing. In this talk, we will we explore the potential applications of quantum computing in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, including drug discovery, personalized medicine, and medical imaging. Additionally, we will provide an overview of the evolution of the quantum ecosystem and address some of the challenges and limitations of quantum computing.
