With a background in mathematics, Alex Maierean holds an Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto and a Master’s in Mathematics specializing in Quantum Information from the University of Waterloo, where she is currently pursuing a PhD.

Her research at the Institute for Quantum Computing led to the founding of Phantom Photonics Inc., where she now serves as Co-founder and CEO. The company emerged from breakthrough developments in quantum LiDAR technology achieved during her graduate studies, translating fundamental research into practical quantum solutions.

Phantom Photonics was one of only 44 companies chosen from over 1,300 applicants to participate in the first cohort of NATO’s Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic (DIANA). The company is among the top ten companies selected for the second phase of the accelerator’s program.
