BTQ TECHNOLOGIES APPOINTS DR. RO CAMMAROTA TO ACCELERATE QCIM PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, COMMERCIALIZATION and GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS

BTQ Technologies Corp. has appointed Dr. Ro Cammarota to the company's U.S. team to support the development, commercialization and strategic partnership efforts for BTQ's postquantum semiconductor product, QCIM.

Dr. Cammarota brings more than 20 years of experience spanning cryptography, privacy, semiconductor design and advanced hardware architectures, including more than a decade in leadership roles at the forefront of cryptographic hardware innovation. With more than 4,000 academic citations, Dr. Cammarota will help strengthen BTQ's core intellectual property, advance QCIM's commercialization roadmap, support security and cryptographic certification efforts, and expand engagement with key industry stakeholders globally.

Prior to joining BTQ, Dr. Cammarota served as senior principal engineer at Intel Labs, where he was principal investigator for the Darpa DPRIVE program focused on acceleration architectures for fully homomorphic encryption, co-principal investigator for the Intel Private AI Collaborative Research Institute and co-principal investigator for the Intel Crypto Frontiers Research Institute. In these roles, he contributed to numerous patented inventions, fostered public-private collaboration and helped identify commercial opportunities for emerging cryptographic technologies.

Prior to Intel, Dr. Cammarota was a senior staff research and development hardware engineer at Qualcomm, where he led the development of hardware acceleration architectures for AI processing and hardware security architectures for both commercial and government applications. He also worked closely with government, academic and industry organizations, including the RISC-V security standing committee, the Wi-Fi Alliance and the Semiconductor Research Corp. With extensive experience designing high-performance, high-security cryptographic cores, Dr. Cammarota also served on the steering committee for the U.S. Department of Defense's Trusted and Assured Microelectronics program.

"Ro is one of the leading minds in cryptographic hardware and advanced semiconductor security," said Olivier Roussy Newton, chief executive officer of BTQ Technologies. "His technical depth, industry relationships and experience advancing complex hardware programs from research to commercialization will be highly valuable as we continue to scale QCIM and strengthen BTQ's position across the postquantum security landscape. We are excited to welcome him to the team as we advance the performance, security and global reach of our hardware platform."

Dr. Cammarota is also an associate researcher at the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Irvine. He received his master of science and PhD in computer science from UC Irvine in 2013, where his research focused on performance optimization in integrated circuits using feature characterization techniques. He also holds a master of science in telecommunications engineering from the University of Naples Federico II.
