Dear HQI Community,
I write today to update you on some changes to the HQI staff team.
I am pleased to announce that Samantha Dakoulas has joined the HQI as Strategic Program
Manager. Samantha comes to us from the Physics Department, where she supported the Lukin
and Greiner labs for more than five years. In her new role, Samantha will manage the
planning, implementation, and day-to-day administrative support for major collaborative
projects and partnerships involving multiple organizations in industry, academia, and
government. Her current portfolio includes the AWS Center for Quantum Networking’s
research alliance with HQI and the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms.
It is with mixed emotions that I announce that Ann Quaicoe will depart her role as HQI
Staff Assistant on February 10. Ann will be joining UMASS Memorial - Community Healthlink
as a project manager for the Worcester Crisis Co-Response Team. As a Community Liaison,
she will be working to forge partnerships and connections with local nonprofit
organizations, hospitals, and local business. In addition to her work with HQI, Ann has
been in graduate school earning her Master’s in Health Administration. While we will miss
Ann very much, we are excited for her to take a new opportunity in her chosen field. We
will begin a search for a new HQI Staff Assistant over the next few weeks. While we work
to fill the position, please direct any messages you would typically send to Ann to
HQIDirectors@harvard.edu<mailto:HQIDirectors@harvard.edu>.
Finally, as of February 1, the HQI offices have moved from the Maxwell Dworkin 111 suite
to the third floor of Maxwell Dworkin. Please feel free to stop by with any questions for
our staff, or just to say hi!
* MD 347 – Director of Programs (Ploucha)
* MD 349 – Director of Education & Outreach (Sule)
* MD 351 – Staff Assistant (Quaicoe) & Strategic Program Manager (Dakoulas)
Best,
Clare
