Stevens Alumnus Darío Gil '98 Confirmed as DOE Under Secretary of Science

The computing pioneer and longtime IBM research leader will oversee the nation's premier scientific laboratories.

We hope and believe quantum technologies will be able to solve real, large-scale problems that have so far defeated us. Things like diagnosing, treating and preventing cancer, or protecting private information with perfect security.
