With 15 years of experience to his credit, Dr. Kharkov has excelled as a research scientist of quantum computing and machine learning at Amazon Web Services since 2022. He began his career as an intern at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in 2010. He contributed to Novosibirsk State University as a junior scientist from 2011 to 2013 and as a teaching assistant from 2011 to 2013. He worked as a junior scientist at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS in Novosibirsk, Russia from 2008 to 2013. He garnered a stellar reputation as a researcher at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2017.
Dr. Kharkov continued his career as a quantitative developer of fractal wealth management in Sydney, Australia from 2016 to 2017. He was active at the University of New South Wales as a physics laboratory demonstrator from 2014 to 2017 and a research associate from 2017 to 2019. He was appointed to the role of visiting scientist of quantum machine learning at the Russian Quantum Center from 2018 to 2020 before transitioning to the role of principal research consultant at Turation from 2019 to 2022. He found further success as a postdoctoral researcher at the Joint Quantum Institute from 2019 to 2022, an ambassador at Arline in 2022, and as co-founder of BlackCurrant Inc.
Before embarking on his professional path, Dr. Kharkov pursued an education at Novosibirsk State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science in physics in 2009 and a master’s degree in particle physics in 2011. He completed an internship at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in 2010. He continued his academic efforts at the University of New South Wales, graduating with a PhD in condensed matter theory in 2016. He successfully fulfilled a second internship in machine learning and quantum computing at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2017.
Beyond his responsibilities within the field, Dr. Kharkov has participated in numerous endeavors outside of his professional circles. He found success with the written works he contributed to including “Unifying Static and Dynamic Properties in 3D Quantum Antiferromagnets” and “Casimir Effect Mechanism of Pairing Between Fermions in the Vicinity of a Magnetic Quantum Critical Point.”
In light of his impressive undertakings, Dr. Kharkov has accrued several accolades throughout his career. The two startups he participated in establishing have produced remarkable results in quantum computing and in green hydrogen. He received the International University Postgraduate Research Award and was selected for the Gordon Godfrey Scholarship for Young Theoretical Physicists, the Scholarship for Young Outstanding Theoretical Physicists in 2010 and 2011, and earned several awards for his participation in the International Physics Olympiad as a high school student.
