Musa A. Hussien
Postdoctoral Researcher, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Computational condensed matter physicist working on first-principles simulations of quantum materials and superconductors for qubit applications, with a growing focus on machine learning for materials discovery.
Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, based jointly in the Materials Science Division and the Molecular Foundry. My work uses first-principles simulations and high-performance computing to study quantum materials and superconductors relevant to qubit fabrication. I am also developing machine-learning interatomic potentials for amorphous materials, with an emphasis on topology diagnosis and materials-property analysis. I am interested in research scientist and applied science roles in quantum computing or AI at industry labs in the U.S.
