Katharine Hyatt

Katharine Hyatt is a scientist on the Amazon Braket team. Previously, she worked at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics at the Flatiron Institute, a division of the Simons Foundation. Past research focused on developing new numerical methods to understand 2D-correlated electronic systems and finding interesting applications in condensed matter physics for these methods, tensor networks, exact diagonalization, and quantum Monte Carlo. She previously studied at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she received her Ph.D. in physics, and at the University of Waterloo, from which she holds an Honours B.Sc. in mathematical physics. She also moonlights as a sometime Julia language and package developer.
