Grace brings a background in trusted computing and secure device architecture, having previously led security efforts at Mojo Vision. At Samsung, he played a central role in defining security frameworks for major products including Samsung Knox, Samsung Pay, and Samsung Pass. His expertise in navigating the intersection of hardware performance and rigorous security standards is expected to shape how BTQ’s QCIM technology moves into semiconductor ecosystems.
BTQ Technologies adds Samsung security veteran to guide QCIM rollout
Dr. Michael Grace, formerly the head of Samsung Mobile's Knox Security team, has joined BTQ Technologies to oversee the integration and commercialization of its Quantum Compute-in-Memory architecture. His appointment marks a shift for the company as it transitions from core architectural development toward real-world deployment and system verification.
BTQ is currently advancing its roadmap alongside partners ICTK Co., Ltd. and Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute. Recent technical milestones confirmed the functional viability of the QCIM core within a 28-nanometre design environment, validating its ability to accelerate cryptographic operations defined by NIST standards. The company is now focusing on module-level integration, with Grace tasked with ensuring the technology remains practical and interoperable within complex, connected infrastructure. QCIM aims to address the growing demand for low-power, quantum-resilient security in edge devices and industrial systems.
