Designing Proteins on a Quantum Computer
Experience at NCCS
I truly appreciate Craig’s willingness to mentor me as a quantum computing intern even though I don’t have many formal qualifications. Being at NCCS has helped me to put computational methods in context, directing my work towards greater translational impact. I am also very thankful to my fellow interns for their mentorship and support throughout the summer.
