industrial doctorate over a standard PhD?<\/b><\/div>\n<div><br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>I think an industrial PhD gives you the best of both worlds: the chance of keep doing research while also stepping into industry. When I finished my master&#8217;s, I knew that I waned to keep doing research, but I wasn&#8217;t sure if I wanted to stay in academia since I was also drawn to the idea of joining a company. An industrial PhD is the perfect way to stay connected to both worlds. It gives you a unique perspective precisely because you&#8217;re part of both.<br \/><br \/><b>What&#8217;s the hardest thing you&#8217;ve had to figure out that no course prepared you for?\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n<div><br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>I&#8217;d say figuring out what to do with my life and which path is right for me. While studying, I enjoyed many different topics, but at some point you have to choose as it&#8217;s impossible to do everything. And with that choice come the doubts: am I making the right decision, will I regret it later&#8230; But I think that&#8217;s also part of life and part of growing as a person.<br \/><br \/><b>What&#8217;s one thing you understand now about how a quantum computer gets built that you couldn&#8217;t have learned from a textbook or lab?<\/b><\/div>\n<div><br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>That getting to where you originally imagined isn&#8217;t easy and sometimes the path isn&#8217;t straightforward at all. But that&#8217;s okay. Sometimes reaching where you set out to go means taking a detour and learning many things along the way. You might not even end up where you first intended, but you can still find yourself in an amazing place.<br \/><br \/><b>What would you tell someone who&#8217;s deciding between a traditional PhD and an industrial one?<\/b><\/div>\n<div><br aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>I&#8217;d tell them that an industrial PhD is a challenge because you&#8217;re living between two worlds that are quite different from each other (academia and industry) and you have to learn to adapt to both. But at the same time, it opens up opportunities you&#8217;d miss out if you stayed in just one of the two.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30a9d69 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"30a9d69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12609ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"12609ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h1><strong>A Bridge Between Academia and Industry<\/strong><br \/><!-- notionvc: 4376bfa4-ea20-4872-ad92-1846af7793b7 --><\/h1>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01c8961 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"01c8961\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Building a quantum computer is, by definition, a collaborative project.
