Dr. Joelle Corrigan graduated Hamilton as a physics major in 2016 and went on to get her Ph.D. in physics from the University of Wisconsin Madison in 2021. She currently works as a quantum computing measurement engineer. In this position, Dr. Corrigan focuses on electrically defined silicon quantum dots as a platform for quantum computing.
