Research
I am a physicist and quantum computing researcher who recently defended my Ph.D. in physics at the University of Georgia. My research focuses on the simulation of open and noisy quantum systems, with projects spanning quantum simulation, quantum error correction, distributed quantum sensing, non-Hermitian quantum dynamics, and quantum algorithms for near-term, distributed, and future fault-tolerant devices.My dissertation, Quantum Simulation of Open and Noisy Quantum Systems, explored how noise, dissipation, memory effects, and non-unitary dynamics can be modeled and used within quantum technologies. My work has included circuit-based simulations of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, variational quantum algorithms, amplitude damping and non-completely positive dynamics, and quantum sensing applications related to dark matter detection and satellite-based sensing architectures.I am interested in the theoretical and practical challenges involved in building scalable quantum technologies. This includes fault-tolerant quantum computing, distributed quantum computing, quantum memory, error mitigation, and algorithms that can operate across noisy or networked quantum hardware. I am especially motivated by problems that connect fundamental quantum dynamics with architectures for useful quantum computation, communication, and sensing.You may find most of my publications here, and a copy of my CV hereFeel free to contact me for possible collaboration on related subjects.
About
I am a physicist and quantum computing researcher affiliated with the Center for Simulational Physics at the University of Georgia. I defended my Ph.D. in physics in April 2026, and I was a graduate research intern at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory from August 2024 to March 2025.I am particularly drawn to research problems where fundamental quantum dynamics meet the practical constraints of real quantum hardware. I enjoy working across theory, simulation, and implementation, especially when the goal is to understand how noise, memory, and architecture shape the performance of quantum technologies.I am currently interested in postdoctoral, national-lab, and quantum-industry research roles related to quantum simulation, fault-tolerant quantum computing, distributed quantum systems, and quantum algorithms.
