I explore the limits of today’s quantum computers at IBM Quantum. For my PhD, I engineered quantum optical materials with applications in quantum computing and chemical reactivity. My methods of choice lie at the intersection of theoretical and computational quantum · (simulation, chemistry, optics).
I’m open to working with researchers of all experience levels, including those who are new to my field or to research in general. See my current interests below or Questions on my mind as a potential starting point for a discussion. To get a sense for what I’ve worked on in the past, see Publications.
I get to do what I do only because of a pantheon of teachers and mentors that have guided me through many hoops. Feel free to contact me about preparing and applying for the chemistry olympiad, college, summer programs (REUs) and jobs (Google, Apple, venture capital, Rigetti), graduate school, scholarships (Goldwater, Marshall), and fellowships (NSF GRFP). I’m happy to share my application materials and tips, some of which are linked in Notes.

What I’m more interested in lies closer to the top of the list. There is roughly an inverse correlation with my level of expertise.
When arXiv versions of my work are available, I list only them below. Note that formally published versions may contain slight differences.
