We are very proud to announce a big achievement for our research group. On January 12, 2026, our researcher Afrah Farea successfully defended her PhD thesis titled "Quantum Machine Learning Algorithms for the Solution of Partial Differential Equations."
Dr. Farea’s work connects two powerful fields: Quantum Computing and Artificial Intelligence. During her studies, she developed new algorithms to solve complex physical problems.
We congratulate Dr. Farea on this well-deserved success and look forward to seeing her future contributions to science. Related resources and publications can be found below.
