 *Senior Director of Quantum Chemistry.*

 [aspuru@nvidia.com ](mailto:alan.aspuru.com) Toronto, Canada

My research at NVIDIA focuses at the intersection of Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence and Chemical applications.

\-- Near-term quantum algorithm development

\-- Algorithms for fast quantum chemistry simulation for quantum computers and classical computers

\-- Self-driving laboratories and robotics for chemical automation

\-- Chemical generative models for materials design and drug discovery

I am also a Professor at the [University of Toronto](http://www.utoronto.ca) and a Faculty member at the [Vector Institute](https://vectorinstitute.ai). Please find my university lab profile [here](https://matter.toronto.edu).
