Celebrating Andrew Tanggara who successfully defended his thesis! 👏

Throughout his PhD, Andrew did research in various topics in quantum information. His thesis is on "Quantum Error Correction Across Space, Time, and Dimension: Frameworks, Resources, and Encodings". Andrew's main thesis advisor was Principal Investigator Dagomir Kaszlikowski and Principal Investigator Mile Gu his co-advisor.

Next, Andrew will be joining neutral atom quantum computing company QuEra in Boston, USA, as a postdoctoral fellow. All the best, Dr Tanggara! 🎓️
