I am currently a PhD candidate in electrical engineering at the University of Illinois expecting to defend in fall 2024. I work part-time as a quantum control engineer at Error Corp and as a graduate student intern at Sandia National Laboratories. My research at Illinois focuses on theoretical study of deep neural nets; we use tools from nonlinear and geometric control to characterize model complexity measures like expressivity and generalizability. At Error Corp I work on control synthesis and calibration for optimal noise-robust quantum gates. At Sandia my work centers around developing efficient models for circuits and devices.
