Meet Deborah Berebichez: Stanford Ph.D. physicist, TV personality, and quantum computing expert. Explore her journey from academia to media, making complex topics accessible and exciting.


















"I finally saw your Nova performance about the crystals on TV. I was so impressed. You made something dull and boring come alive! This ability is a key talent essential for making the world turn, as I myself have found out that hard way. You've got this talent in abundance. Also, your TV personality is exactly the same as your real one, which is very neat."
"Charismatic, engaging, thoughtful, inspiring, heartfelt and smart! These words describe only a fraction of the pure enthusiasm and positive energy that Dr. Berebichez possesses and elicits in others. She connected so favorably with our Project FibonacciÒ STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) scholars and staff when it came to telling her personal stories of overcoming barriers to women in STEM professions and her life pursuits. I look forward to having her back again and inspiring our future classes of STEAM scholars entering the workforce. An A++ experience!"
"Debbie, the girls loooooved you! What an inspiration for girls with a STEM interest. Thank you, thank you!! Let's definitely make this an annual event!"
