Brandon joins Elevate Quantum with over a decade of experience commercializing scientific instrumentation at the frontier of achievable measurement and control. His path into quantum began with a curiosity about how materials behave at their most fundamental level, leading to a B.S. in Engineering Physics at UC Berkeley and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University. He has spent his career helping universities, national labs, startups, and corporations connect first-of-a-kind tools in materials and quantum device characterization with real technical and commercial needs. That work has given him the technical fluency to have meaningful conversations with researchers, engineers, and executives alike.

Before joining Elevate Quantum, Brandon was a Corporate Account Manager at Bluefors, where he managed strategic quantum accounts and helped grow partnerships across the national quantum ecosystem, including collaborations with Department of Energy programs. Brandon is passionate about building partnerships, talent pipelines, and go-to-market strategies that will help the quantum ecosystem scale.
