Sara Mouradian is an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle. She received her BS, MEng, and PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, working on quantum technologies in optical and solid-state systems. She was then an Intelligence Community postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Berkeley, helping to demonstrate control over rotational modes of ions and realizing a new sensing technique capable of showing real quantum advantage. At the University of Washington, her lab focuses on trapped-ion quantum information processing, including optical control with integrated photonics, optimization of multiqubit operations, and fabrication of next-generation trap designs.
