Dr. Kevin M. Obenland is a senior staff member in the Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems Group where he conducts quantum computing research focusing on the areas of quantum fault-tolerance and error correction, gate-level simulation of noisy physical quantum systems, and resource analysis of quantum algorithms and architectures.
Obenland joined the laboratory in June 2015. Prior to this he worked at SAIC/Leidos where he led a small quantum computing theory effort focusing on quantum computing systems design and analysis. He also worked in the areas of real-time embedded computing, high-performance computing, and real-time implementation of signal processing systems. Obenland has also held positions with the MITRE Corporation and E-Systems (now Raytheon).
Obenland has published articles in the areas of large-scale simulation of noisy quantum systems and real-time computing. Obenland has held adjunct professor positions at George Mason and George Washington Universities where he taught graduate level courses in Computer Operating Systems and Processor Design.
Obenland earned a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California and a BS in Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington.
