Please welcome Abdelali S. to Diffraqtion! He joins us as our Senior Quantum AI Scientist, where he’ll be advancing the intersection of AI and quantum optics to push the limits of super-resolution imaging. Abdelali was born and raised in Morocco, where a love of mathematics first led him to physics, a field that, as he puts it, “connects the beauty of math with the reality of the world.” He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physics and mathematical physics before coming to the U.S. to continue his studies at the City University of New York and later at Stevens Institute of Technology, where he completed his PhD. His doctoral research focused exactly on Diffraqtion's core tech, and he developed an AI-driven, physics-guided approach to overcome the diffraction barrier, resulting in a patent in super-resolution imaging. Alongside his research, Abdelali has been an adjunct professor at Columbia University, teaching quantum computing, quantum mechanics, and mathematical simulation. Teaching, he says, keeps him “connected to the next generation of scientists who will take quantum technology even further.” What drew you to Diffraqtion? “Diffraqtion is perfectly aligned with my skills and experience. My research in super-resolution and Diffraqtion’s work in quantum imaging are two sides of the same idea. Here, I can turn theory into a real product, something that can change how we see, from the smallest scale to the farthest distance.” Outside the lab, Abdelali stays active through swimming, boxing, tennis, and climbing. Welcome to the team, Abdelali. We’re thrilled to have you advancing the frontiers of quantum AI imaging with us! #Diffraqtion #QuantumImaging #AI #Quantumsensing #SpaceTech Christine Yi-Ting Wang Saikat Guha Mark Michael
