Marwa is a Senior Quantum Algorithm Engineer at NVIDIA, working on hybrid quantum-classical algorithm and  AI‑assisted quantum algorithm design for scalable, real‑world applications using the CUDA‑Q platform.

Prior to joining NVIDIA, Dr. Farag led quantum computing research at Ford Motor Company, focusing on quantum and hybrid approaches for advanced materials simulation. She earned her Ph.D. in theoretical chemistry and computational modeling from the University of Murcia and subsequently held postdoctoral research positions at the Max Planck Institute, the University of Groningen, and the University of Southern California.

During her doctoral and postdoctoral research, she developed quantum chemical methods for electronic structure theory and the dynamics of chemical systems.
