• 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭Project lead on next generation qubit control platform.𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬Lead software developer of qubit control software. Occasionally performed simulations, numerical modeling, and data analysis. Some highlights include:
• Built software for defining, manipulating, and compiling complex pulse sequences for qubit control.
• Built data acquisition and (soft) real-time processing software for qubit measurements.
• Designed scalable database solution for managing qubit data and performing large scale meta studies.
• Developed triple quantum dot qubit calibration and randomized benchmarking techniques.
• Developed unified hardware control software for heterogeneous scientific instruments using protocols such as VISA, PCIe, GPIB, etc. Also developed simulations of hardware enabling dramatically improved unit and.

• Maintained and updated a laser cooling apparatus to cool atomic gases to a few microkelvin.
• Developed techniques for robust quantum control of cold atomic spins using lasers, magnetic fields, and RF/microwaves.
• Performed simulations, numerical modeling, and data analysis.

• Wrote Fortran and C++ programs to process and analyze large data sets from the Solar Mass Ejection Imager (SMEI).
