TAVAKOLI

I am inspired by opportunities to develop novel quantum computing devices and fabrication and characterization processes that enable unprecedented insights into complex materials science challenges... My hands-on problem-solving approach developed from a love for fixing stuff and a need for being self-sufficient. During the war, I learned to repair expensive items, such as cars and appliances, on my own... I went on to earn a B.Sc., which sparked my interest in semiconductors and novel materials, earned a scholarship from U.N. to pursue an M.Sc. in material science and engineering in South Korea, and later, a Ph.D. in engineering physics.
