Prof. Dr. Frank Phillipson
“From OR to quantum computing: Am I in a superposition or are those fields entangled?”
During this talk, prof. dr. Frank Phillipson will talk about his background and experiences in applying OR in telecommunication, logistics, defense and scheduling during the (almost) 25 years carreer at KPN and TNO. The lasts years, Frank made the shift to quantum computing applications and machine learning. He will tell you why he made this shift, what quantum computing is and how this can help solving optimisation problems and what the plans for his endowed chair ‘Computational Operations Research’ look like.
