As a research scientist at IBM Quantum, I unravel fundamental problems in physics by simulating many-body systems on quantum computers. 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 · (chemistry, optics, simulation).
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 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 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 tips and my application materials.
