A Professor of Physics at the University of Queensland, she leads a program in EQUS and other large research groups in experimental quantum atom optics, laser micromanipulation and biophotonics. Professor Rubinsztein-Dunlop is a recipient of many national and international awards, including Officer in the General Division (AO) of the Order of Australia for distinguished service to laser physics and nano-optics as a researcher, mentor and academic, to the promotion of educational programs, and to women in science. Halina is also a Fellow of Australian Academy of Science, a Fellow of SPIE and of OSA. Dr Michael Harvey is the Manager of the Translational Research Program at EQUS. Michael joined EQUS in late 2019 to establish and run the Translational Research Program to enable quantum researchers to turn their work into impacts in society. Prior to EQUS, Michael held positions for over 15 years in deep tech start-ups in Silicon Valley, Europe, Asia, and Australia, where he co-founded and was Chief Technology Officer for two venture capital-backed materials science companies in renewable energy and LED lighting sectors. During this time Michael recruited and managed scientific research and engineering teams, and product development teams. Dr Matt van Breugel is CEO and co-founder of Redback Systems, an innovative spectrometer start-up that builds fundamentally powerful scientific instruments that challenge widely adopted tools. Dr van Breugel completed his PhD in experimental quantum physics at Macquarie University in 2020 focusing on engineering quantum systems with nanodiamond material. He continues a role at Macquarie in industry engagement, where he works to identify challenges in industry that can be addressed now and in the future with upcoming photonic technologies.
