Looking to Join or Form a Team – GIC 2026 (US Federal Agency (Confidential) / qBraid, MITRE & JonesTrading)

Hi everyone, my name is Van Tien Nguyen. I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at UTSA working in quantum computing, machine learning, and quantum machine learning.

My email: tien.nguyen@utsa.com.

Timezone: Central Time (US)

Current teammates: 0 (currently looking to join or build a team)

I’m looking to join or form a team for:

US Federal Agency (Confidential): GIC 2026
qBraid, MITRE & JonesTrading: GIC 2026

My background includes hybrid quantum-classical methods, quantum optimization, tensor methods, and ML, and I’m comfortable with Python, Qiskit, Pennyland, benchmarking, and building technically grounded solution plans with classical baselines. I’m especially interested in working with teammates who bring quantum, optimization, ML, finance/industry, or strong application-domain expertise and want to build a credible, high-quality submission.

Please reach out if you are looking for a teammate or want to form a team together!
