About Lindsay
Lindsay LeBlanc (she/her) is an experimental atomic physicist working with ultracold atoms and quantum technologies at the University of Alberta, situated in Treaty 6 territory. Lindsay earned her BSc in Engineering Physics from the University of Alberta in 2003 and her Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Toronto in 2011, after which she was a postdoc at the Laser Cooling and Trapping Group of the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). At the University of Alberta since 2013, Lindsay is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Ultracold Quantum Gases, where she focuses on three research directions: quantum simulations with ultracold atoms; quantum memories in atomic systems; and hybrid quantum systems, with a focus on microwave interactions and technologies. She is also a mom, a sister, a partner, and a daughter; she is queer; and she embraces all of her identities with joy.
