Gustavo was a Phd candidate at the Quantum Control Lab at the University of Sydney, working on Experimental Penning traps. His research focused on multi layer trapping for Quantum Simulation. He obtained a MSc degreee in Physics by the Federal University of the São Paulo ABC region, his research was mostly on Quantum Control (RF Pulse engineering) and Machine learning for Quantum Information Processing in NMR Devices. He is also a former bachelor in both Social Sciences and Physics at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, both in Brazil, where he did undergraduate level research in optimization (mostly for graph/networks). His academic career path has also led him through IMPA (Brazil’s leading mathematics institute) and the University of Freiburg (Germany). Non-researchwise, he first worked in data science and, later, in web development for start up companies focused in cryptocurrency.
