Dr. Yukio Kawashima
Quantum Computing Application Researcher, IBM
Yukio Kawashima received PhD in theoretical chemistry and a BA in applied chemistry from the University of Tokyo, Japan. He ave over 15 years of experience in academic research in the field of theoretical chemistry at 3 Universities and 2 institutes in Japan. During those years, he mainly worked on development of multi-scale simulation techniques focusing on electronic structure of molecules in condensed phase. He also have experience in classical MD simulation, path integral molecular dynamics simulation, employing electronic structure calculations to describe the nuclear quantum fluctuation, and electronic structure calculation (both method development and applications). He is currently working as a quantum computing application researcher studying quantum computing for quantum chemistry simulations. His role includes code development and client engagements.
