Joey is completing a PhD in quantum physics under the supervision of 2018 Australian of the Year, Professor Michelle Simmons. His research focus is to develop an atomically precise quantum integrated circuit, a major step towards building a quantum computer. 

As a Fulbright Future Scholar, Joey will work in the Harvard laboratory of Professor Amir Yacoby learning world leading measurement techniques for quantum computing. The outcome of this project will be to implement these techniques on silicon nanoelectronic  devices  to  accelerate  the  development  of  a quantum computer. Such a machine promises exponential advantage over classical computers in areas such as artificial intelligence, cyber security, financial services and drug development.
