Catherine C. McGeoch

As of July 2016 my new affiliation is D-Wave Systems Inc. of Burnaby, BC, CA. My Amherst email address will continue to be usable for some time.

My research interests are in algorithms and heuristics for NP-Hard problems; experimental algorithmics, including methodology, statistics, and data analysis; and lately, experimental analysis of quantum annealers and adiabatic quantum systems.

Here are some links and resources:

My book, Adiabatic Quantum Computing and Quantum Annealing: Theory and Practice has been published by Morgan&Claypool as part of their Synthesis Lectures on Quantum Computing series.
Here is a link to my book, A Guide to Experimental Algorithmics, published by Cambridge University Press, 2012. Here is the companion website.
I am on the ACM Publications Board.
Go Bruins!
