Dr. Elica Kyoseva is Director of Quantum Algorithm Engineering at NVIDIA, where she leads the quantum algorithm engineering and applied research teams. Her focus is on using AI supercomputing to overcome the bottlenecks of quantum computing, which include large-scale device modelling, compact quantum circuits generation, and hybrid application development.

Prior to her role at NVIDIA, Elica launched and led the Quantum for Bio program at Wellcome Leap, a 50M USD program aimed at accelerating the applications of quantum computing in human health. Elica earned her PhD in Quantum Optics from the University of Sofia, Bulgaria. She was a Marie Curie fellow at Tel Aviv University and a Research Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2016 she was awarded the 2016 John Atanasoff Award of the President of the Republic of Bulgaria for internationally recognized young researchers working in the fields of informatics and information technology.
