Andy Ding will enter graduate school at the Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo. For the summer before that, he has been accepted into a competitive summer school on experimental quantum computing, and following that has a paid summer research internship arranged. He has also been offered a research opportunity at the University of Vienna, which may lead him to defer matriculation at Waterloo.
