We are actively seeking undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers to join the lab. If you are interested, please send an email with your CV and transcript to Mattias Fitzpatrick, Principal Investigator, mattias.w.fitzpatrick@dartmouth.edu
Principal Investigator
Mattias Fitzpatrick is an experimental physicist and quantum engineer focusing on superconducting circuits and machine learning. He did his graduate work at Princeton University where he focused on driven-dissipative quantum engineering and nonequilibrium quantum simulation. Mattias's postdoctoral work was also at Princeton where he worked with shallow nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond for quantum sensing. He then went on to work as a Research Staff Member at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Lab in Yorktown Heights, NY.
Mattias is currently an assistant professor at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College with an adjunct professorship in the physics department.

Postdoctoral Researcher
Salil is a theoretical quantum physicist with research interests in open quantum systems, quantum annealing, quantum thermodynamics, quantum transport, the dynamics of driven-dissipative systems, quantum thermoelectrics, and quantum biology. During his doctoral research, he developed a numerically exact path integral approach to simulate the dynamics of interacting quantum dots in Aharonov-Bohm networks, while also investigating the role of broken time-reversal symmetry. His work reflects a deep passion for simulating driven quantum systems, with applications in quantum sensing and quantum error correction. He has also contributed to the design of many-body interactions for quantum annealing and has enjoyed collaborations with experimentalists. Presently, he is collaborating with Professor Fitzpatrick to deepen his understanding of the experimental facets of driven-dissipative systems, providing theoretical support for ongoing projects. Outside of his work, Salil enjoys hiking, playing bongo drums, and exploring history.
Graduate Student
Juan Sebastián did his undergraduate and master's work at the National University of Colombia, where he focused on simulating the thermodynamic behavior and equilibrium properties of nanoscale exchange-graded magnetic materials. His current interests include quantum computing, quantum sensing, and developing AI-driven quantum error correction frameworks. In his spare time, Juan enjoys traveling, spending time with nature and family, playing soccer, cooking, singing, and playing music.
Graduate Student
Alex's current interests involve using software to solve problems in engineering, math, and physics. Outside of academia, Alex loves to ski, play piano, and cycle.
Graduate Student
