UC San Diego Alumni discuss their careers & Quantum Design Inc. with Brian Keating (#033)

   Dr. Stefano Spagna, PhD. and Ivy Lum Fipps, MS are
both alumni of UC San Diego Physics. Dr. Spagna is Chief Technology
Officer and Mrs. Fipps is Final Test Engineer specializing in
dilution refrigerators. Since its inception in 1982, Quantum Design
International (a privately held corporation) has developed and
manufactured automated temperature and magnetic field testing
platforms for materials characterization. These systems offer a
variety of measurement capabilities and are in widespread use in
the fields of physics, chemistry, biotechnology, materials science,
nanotechnology, and quantum information research. Building on its
expertise in the global marketing and distribution of its own
scientific instruments, Quantum Design International (QDI)
eventually broadened its scope to distribute quality scientific
instruments from other manufacturers through an international
network of wholly-owned subsidiaries in every major technological
center around the world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
