Prof. Jingbo Wang

Professor Jingbo Wang is the Director of the QUISA (Quantum Information, Simulation and Algorithms) Research Centre, hosted at The University of Western Australia, which aims to foster collaboration and entrepreneurship, bringing together academic staff, research students, government and industrial partners to develop innovative quantum solutions to tackle otherwise intractable problems and complex phenomena, as outlined at https://quisa.tech/. Prof Wang and her team pioneered quantum walk-based algorithms to solve problems of practical importance otherwise intractable, which include complex network analysis, graph theoretical analysis, machine learning, and combinatorial optimization. She is currently also Head of the Physics Department, Deputy Head of the School of Physics, Mathematics and Computing, and Chair of the QST (Quantum Science and Technology) Topical Group under the Australian Institute of Physics.
