Meet our team

I’m a senior majoring in Computer Science at UC Irvine, with a strong interest in quantum machine learning algorithms and over five years of experience working with quantum software. As president of the Quantum Computing Club, I aim to make quantum computing approachable and exciting for students of all backgrounds. Outside of research and coding, I enjoy taking outdoor walks to clear my mind and listening to music from a wide range of genres.

Aloha everyone! My name is Hokulani Topping, and I’m a senior at UCI majoring in Informatics with a focus on Human–Computer Interaction. I have a growing interest in quantum computing, and as the new Vice President of the Quantum Computing Club, my goal is to make the field fun and welcoming to everyone—no matter their background. Outside of academics, I do taekwondo, I’m an avid surfer, and someone who’s always looking for ways to stay active. I’m deeply passionate about my Hawaiian culture, and I’m also a huge fan of rap music.

I’m a third-year Computer Science major with a strong interest in software engineering and machine learning. I joined the Quantum Computing Club in my freshman year, where I gained valuable knowledge of quantum computing algorithms and concepts through both learning sessions and hands-on projects. Beyond writing code, I have a passion for photography and aesthetics, which allows me to explore creativity and design from a different perspective.
