Yvonne Gao (she/her)

Yvonne is a Principal Investigator in the Centre for Quantum Technologies and a Presidential Young Professor in the Department of Physics, National University of Singapore. Her team works on building robust quantum hardware using superconducting microwave circuits. Their devices provide useful avenues to develop novel techniques for quantum information processing as well as to explore interesting effects in quantum physics. Yvonne is a recipient of the Singapore Young Scientist Award, Singapore National Research Foundation Fellowship, and MIT Tech Review’s Innovator’s Under 35 (Asia-Pacific) award. Outside the lab, Yvonne also actively works on promoting diversity and inclusion in science, as well as bringing quantum physics to a broader audience through outreach activities.
