> Hi everyone,
> 
> The Columbia University Quantum Computing Club is hosting the first IBM Qiskit Fall Fest. In this event, we teach how to code on a quantum computer through Qiskit, IBM’s quantum platform. We also go through the details of IBM's backend, including the transpiler from written code to the implemented circuit on the hardware. As part of this event, we are proud to be hosting 2 quantum scientists from IBM, Francesco Valenti and Andre He, with their bios below. We are running this event on Friday from 2-4 pm and Saturday from 2-5 pm at CSB 453. All are invited to join!

> Francesco obtained his BSc in materials engineering from Politecnico di Torino (Italy) in 2015, his MSc in physics at Université Grenoble Alpes (France) in 2017 (where he was also admitted to and completed the "Magistère de Physique" - excellence track in physics), and his Ph.D. at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany) in 2021, where he worked in the group of Prof. Ioan Pop. His research interests include the design, fabrication and characterization of microwave devices for quantum information and radioastronomy, and the diagnostics and abatement of quasiparticle poisoning in superconducting circuits. Since 2022 he works at IBM quantum and lives in New York City, spending his free time immersed in its rich art scene.
> 
> Andre He is a quantum hardware engineer at IBM Quantum, specializing in the characterization, benchmarking, and calibration of large-scale superconducting quantum devices. His current research focuses on enhancing the technologies required to improve the reliability and performance of large-scale quantum computers. Prior to joining IBM, he worked at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, UC Berkeley, and Sandia National Laboratories, contributing to projects on quantum simulation, quantum error mitigation, and quantum sensing. Andre received his B.S. in Engineering Physics from UC Berkeley and is currently pursuing an M.S. in Electrical Engineering at Columbia University.
