Background

About Michael Dascal

Combining a multidisciplinary PhD in quantum foundations and over a decade of experience in product marketing, strategy and innovation, I brought my expertise together to lead Fidelity's quantum computing application and post-quantum security research strategy in 2021. Since then, our tream has published groundbreaking papers, launched some of the first quantum networking POCs in the private sector, filed numerous patents, and continues to push the boundaries of what's possible with emerging technologies. In addition to my work at Fidelty, I'm also a co-founder and chair of Quantum Ireland, a group of companies that represents the industry sector in Ireland's 'Quantum 2030' National Strategy implementation group and aims to support the growth and development of the Irish quantum ecosystem. I'm also co-founder of DiviQ, which aims to help diversify the quantum workforce, largely by supporting graduate students who identify as members of minorty and marginialized groups.
