Biography
Dr. Travis Humble is a Senior Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Director of the Quantum Computing Institute. He received his doctorate in theoretical chemistry from the University of Oregon before coming to ORNL as an Intelligence Community Postdoctoral Research Fellow. Dr. Humble joined the ORNL staff in 2007 and was award the 2015 Department of Energy Early Career Research award for scientific applications of quantum computing. Dr. Humble joined the faculty of the Bredesen Center in 2013 and currently mentors graduate students in the research and development of advanced computing technologies. At the intersection of computing, physics, and information, his research focuses on the design, development, and benchmarking of new quantum computing platforms. These revolutionary new approaches to familiar computational problems include reducing algorithmic complexity, reducing the computational resource requirements, and increasing the problem sizes to be tackled by state of the art computers.
