• D-Wave is the leader in the development and delivery of quantum computing systems, software, and services and is the world’s first commercial supplier of quantum computers.
• Performed calibration of quantum processors - this is a process of measuring over 100,000 individual components and modelling the data to extract physical parameters
• Developed and maintained the 580,000-line calibration codebase with a team of physicists and software developers
• Improved processor performance on non-convex optimization problems by using feedback to avoid critical anti-crossings in the problem energy spectrum
• Led a collaborative project to create a lab database which systematically tracks hardware configurations, thereby reducing errors and automating workflows
• Used python with jupyter notebooks to create data mining and visualization pipelines

ThermoCeramix was a company that developed a process for depositing electrical heating elements with unique physical properties, such as durability and conduction. As a research engineer, I was responsible for characterizing the product and understanding the physics of the plasma-based process. I developed new systems to automate data collection and used.

My research was in the area of one dimensional systems, where strong electron-electron interactions conspire to create a remarkable new state of matter, applicable to quantum computing. In pursuit of measuring this elusive state, I performed measurements using low-noise electronics at cryogenic temperatures. I developed software in python to collect.
