Carmen G. Almudever

Carmen G. Almudéver is a Distinguished Researcher at the Universitat Politècnica de València, following her role as Assistant Professor at TU Delft's Quantum and Computer Engineering Department until 2021. Her academic journey includes a Ph.D. in Electronic Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, where she focused on "beyond-CMOS" technologies and earned an Intel Doctoral Student Honor Programme fellowship in 2012. Her research expertise centers on developing scalable quantum computer architectures, particularly the mapping of fault-tolerant quantum circuits onto different qubit topologies. As one of the Principal Investigators in the 10-year Intel-QuTech collaboration on quantum computing, she has made significant contributions to quantum programming languages, compilers, error correction, and fault-tolerant computation. Her work spans the entire quantum computing stack, from fundamental architecture design to practical implementation of quantum systems, establishing her as a leading figure in quantum computing research and development.
