ORNL's Kathleen Hamilton.
Kathleen Hamilton studies hybrid workflows that use classical and next-generation platforms to execute scientific computing and machine learning tasks. In this role, Kathleen leverages her diverse research background in quantum computing, discrete mathematics, and correlated dynamics.
Substantial institutional investments in equipment and facilities, as well as recent increases in federal funding from the Department of Energy and other agencies, have positioned Kathleen and her colleagues for rapid growth and success.
Kathleen joined ORNL in 2016 as a postdoctoral research associate. She earned her bachelor’s degree in physics from Mary Washington College in 2004 and her doctorate in physics from the University of California-Riverside in 2014. Her research interests and focus areas include the development of algorithms, methods, and applications for near-term, next-generation processors such as quantum computers and neuromorphic computers.
