Maturing Quantum Sensing Technologies
BIOGRAPHY
Yuri Lebedev is one of the founders of Q-Sensorix, LLC, an early-stage startup located in College Station, TX. The startup is working on the development of the quantum gyroscope on NV-centers in a diamond. Before founding the company, Yuri worked in several industries, including over 20 years in Aerospace & Defense in roles ranging from global business development to complex aerospace systems program management. One of many responsibilities in the business development role was to grow international sales of navigational equipment based on MEMS technology. The interest in advancing the state of navigational technology led Yuri to switch his focus to the quantum industry. In 2019, together with partners, he started Q-Sensorix, LLC in pursuit of developing quantum sensing technologies based on the color centers in diamonds. His current responsibilities include business development and searching out new funding opportunities. Yuri started his education at the Academy of Civil Aviation in Saint Petersburg, Russia, where he studied aerospace engineering with a focus on the navigational system and continued his education in the United States, where he received an MBA from Millsaps College, Jackson MS.
