Kyle Serniak is a research scientist and team lead at the Lincoln Laboratory and the Research Laboratory of Electronics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Before joining MIT, he received a PhD in applied physics from Yale University for his work in Michel Devoret’s group studying the dynamics of nonequilibrium quasiparticles in superconducting qubits. Prior to that, Serniak graduated with a BS in physics and applied mathematics from Florida State University. His research focuses on the physics of superconducting quantum devices with the goal of improving the performance of superconducting qubits.
