Over the Summer of 2025, Sarah Davidson began refining an approach to exploring recent breakthrough biological discoveries and theoretical framing for how quantum processes are at work alongside classical physical systems. As of August, she became a member of Professor Karim Oweiss’ laboratory group where she is focused on computationally modeling the biophysical mechanics that could form the foundation for a hybrid quantum processor at work in the synapses of the mammalian brain. With a solid computational foundation, Sarah and the Oweiss lab will work on becoming the first to experimentally validate such a system. Ultimately, beyond the sheer wonder of understanding more completely how the brain functions, the goal of this work is to develop improved solutions for essential tremor disorders, Parkinson’s, mood disorders, learning disabilities, and the aging process. Sarah has spent the last five years studying neuro and cell science, as well as leading technical development teams at startups in the communication and healthcare industries. She is currently the founder of a company developing predictive analytics and operationally prescriptive processes to enable healthcare systems to increase efficiency and value based outcomes.
