Biography

Sam Stein obtained his MS in Data Science from Fordham University in New York. His research focused on topics such as Quantum Deep Learning, a Quantum Machine Learning Framework, and Quantum Generative Adversarial Networks. He joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in May 2021. He is a Quantum Algorithms and Machine Learning research associate within the High Performance Computing group, with a focus on traversing the noisy intermediate-scale quantum-era through algorithm development.
