Aggie Branczyk

👋 Hi, I’m Aggie! I’m a Physicist in the Wild 🦘

After my PhD, I spent 10 years in academia doing quantum research, then 4 years in quantum tech (things move ~2.5x faster in industry, so let’s call it even!)

Now, with insights from both academia and industry, I’m on a mission to create a life and career that amplifies my favourite aspects of both.

In the coming months, I will focus on some of my passion projects, including Academics in the Wild, an initiative supporting physicists and mathematicians in their career transitions, before starting my next professional adventure later in 2024.

Some things I’ve made which might be useful:

• Academics in the Wild: an initiative to support physicists and mathematicians in their journey from academia to industry
• Physicists in the Wild podcast: Interviews with physicists who left academia (audio and video)
• DRiP: A framework for doing research in public
• Python module for designing the domain configuration of a nonlinear crystal to approximate a desired phase-matching function.
• My lectures on quantum theory from my time at Perimeter Institute
• Various scientific talks that I’ve given (some more here and here)
• My course on scientific writing
• A list of my scientific publications on google scholar
• My PhD thesis: Non-classical states of light (pdf)
