Jerome got his PhD in theoretical chemistry from EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) in 2013. He then moved to the US for a first post-doctoral appointment at GeorgiaTech, and then a second one at UC Berkeley starting in 2016. During this time, he worked to develop methods to better understand intermolecular interactions from first principles. In 2019, he moved to the quantum computing industry, working at Zapata Computing in the professional services organization to help industry customers understand the potential impact of quantum computers for chemistry simulations. In 2023, he moved to QC Ware where he led the quantum computing for chemistry team, before joining NVIDIA as a Senior Quantum Research Scientist in 2025.
He is interested in advanced computing techniques that can help solve chemistry problems, including near-term and fault-tolerant quantum computing algorithms.
