Zachary Degnan

Zach is a PhD student at The University of Queensland under the supervision of Dr. Peter Jacobson and A/Prof. Arkady Fedorov.

He is exploring the development of new material platforms for superconducting devices to be used in quantum computing. Through this exploration, Zach is hoping to reduce material losses in superconducting devices, leading to more effective and scalable quantum computers.

Research themes: 

- Designer quantum materials
- Quantum engines and instruments
