Vincenzo Lordi

Vincenzo Lordi is the group leader of the Quantum Simulations Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). He received his PhD degree in materials science in 2004 and MS degree in electrical engineering in 2002 from Stanford University, and his BSE degree in chemical engineering from Princeton University in 1999. His research includes computational materials science from the atomistic to device scale, as well as materials characterization with an emphasis on optical, x-ray, and electron spectroscopies and imaging. Recent research has included materials for quantum information devices. He was a Hertz Graduate Fellow, Lawrence Postdoctoral Fellow, and Scowcroft National Security Fellow. Lordi recently received The Minerals, Metals & Material Society Young Leaders Award and the LLNL Early-Mid Career Recognition Award. He co-organized the inaugural “Materials Issues for Quantum Information” symposium at the 2016 MRS Fall Meeting.
