Qasem Exirifard

Qasem Exirifard has established a strong foundation in physics, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Applied Physics and Master’s degrees in Mathematical Physics. He further advanced his expertise by obtaining a diploma in High-Energy Physics from the International Centre for Theoretical Physics. Pursuing his doctoral studies at the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste, Italy, Qasem specialized in the theory of elementary particles. There, he delved into the intricate interplay between quantum mechanics and general relativity within the framework of superstring theory. At SISSA, he explored the mathematical structures underpinning fundamental physics and developed innovative approaches to investigate quantum effects in curved spacetime.

After completing his PhD and holding several other academic positions, Qasem transitioned to the emerging fields of quantum technologies and data science. In Canada, he has made  contributions to both research and public service. He currently serves as a Senior Data Scientist in the AI and Data Science Division at Global Affairs Canada. Additionally, he plays a pivotal role in shaping standards for quantum technologies as the Chair of the Canadian National Mirror Committee for the IEC/ISO Joint Technical Committee 3.

Qasem’s research focuses on applying quantum technologies to explore the fundamental interactions between gravity and quantum systems. His core objective is to understand how the fabric of space time influences quantum phenomena. This research seeks to advance our comprehension of the universe’s structure as observed in the quantum realm.
