Quantagonia

My experiences include industry and research posts in the fields of Mathematical Optimization, High-Performance & Quantum Computing, as well as Scientific Simulations and Software Development. For a detailed list of my experiences, head over to my LinkedIn page.

My current position is Head of Development at Quantagonia, with a focus on quantum applications-specific development. At Quantagonia, we are developing hybrid classical-HPC-Quantum algorithms targeting problems from Mathematical Optimization, Artificial Intelligence, and Scientific Simulations, which are made available via our cloud platform. For more details, head over to our website.

I hold a master's degree in Computational Science and Engineering from Technical University Munich and a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Montenegro. I am currently working towards a PhD in Computer Science at the Technical University Berlin.
