Valentin Senicourt is the Quantum Software Lead at Good Chemistry. He leads the development of Tangelo, their open-source python package enabling quantum chemistry simulations on quantum computers. Formerly a mathematics teacher, he then started a career in numerical modeling and High-Performance Computing, spanning 10 years of international experience in various fields (oil and gas, finance, medical imaging, chemistry…), and has been part of the quantum computing community for 5 years. Although he is fond of advanced computing technologies, Valentin has a pragmatic approach to problem solving and believes those tools are simply a means to an end: collaborating with other human beings to tackle challenging problems is what drives him.
