Communication and Confidence Skills for Women Entering Quantum
In today’s episode, host Candace Gillhoolley sits down with Bruna Shinohara de Mendonça, staff scientist in Quantum at CMC Microsystems, to discuss her journey from a humanities-focused upbringing in São Paulo, Brazil to the cutting edge of quantum research. Bruna shares how curiosity and resilience guided her from initial uncertainty in science to mastering quantum mechanics and overcoming setbacks—like failing her first programming course—on her way to a multifaceted career in quantum algorithms and science communication. Tune in as we explore the importance of representation, building confidence in male-dominated fields, and the power of making quantum accessible to diverse communities worldwide.Time Stamps00:00 Intro to Women in Quantum04:26 Pursuing a physics education07:48 Facing doubts from others11:59 Building self-confidence through experience17:22 Exploring career opportunities in quantum tech21:32 Gender differences in job applications24:19 Quantum computing in physics research28:52 Topological materials in quantum computing32:51 Understanding different computing modalities35:02 Starting science communication in 201938:51 Feeling uncertain about teaching skills43:32 Discussing quantum policy challenges46:55 Finding unexpected role models50:17 Encouraging women to ask questions52:20 Interview closing remarks
