Anthony Zappin is a researcher, software engineer, and entrepreneur whose work explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and quantum software engineering. His research focuses on how hybrid quantum-classical systems can be made more reliable, scalable, and interpretable — bridging the gap between theoretical innovation and real-world engineering practice.

Drawing on over a decade of experience in software architecture, data science, and applied AI, Zappin develops systems that integrate advanced computation with human-centered design. His work spans both academic and industry contexts, from designing large-scale analytics frameworks to investigating the engineering challenges of next-generation quantum computing.

Zappin is currently pursuing researcher in Computer Science and Quantum Computing, where his research examines software reliability, debugging methodologies, and developer cognition in complex hybrid computing environments. His recent published study provides the first comprehensive taxonomy of bugs and engineering challenges in hybrid quantum-classical software.

Beyond his work in technology, Zappin is also an abstract painter, a practice he describes as an extension of the same curiosity that drives his technical research — exploring structure, complexity, and the beauty that emerges from disciplined experimentation.
