Chicago, Illinois, United States

Worked briefly on (1) quantum algorithms to solve constrained optimization problems, and (2) quantum compilers for neutral atom quantum computers... before Super.tech was acquired by Infleqtion/ColdQuanta!

University Of Colorado Boulder

Studied quantum magnetism and many-body physics of ultracold atoms in optical lattices, with a particular focus on applications for quantum simulation and precision metrology (e.g. atomic clocks and quantum sensors). Advisor: Ana Maria Rey.----------Enhancing spin squeezing using soft-core.

Studied (1) measurement-free quantum error correction and (2) using a QAOA-inspired algorithm to prepare the ground state of a spin model. Intriguingly, these two projects were in fact one and the same.Supervisors: Albert T. Schmitz and Anne Y. Matsuura.

Lemont, IL

A summer internship that led to more long-term collaboration. Mostly studied quantum circuit cutting, as well as quantum algorithms to evaluate tensor networks. Advisors: Dr. Martin Suchara, Dr. James C. Osborn, Dr. Xiao-Yong Jin.----------Quantum Circuit Cutting with Maximum-Likelihood.

Ulm University, Germany

Studied nitrogen vacancy centers (NV) and their interactions with surrounding carbon-13 nuclear spins, working in particular to develop a noise-resilient quantum register by addressing a decoherence-free subspace of nuclear spins. Worked primarily with Zhenyu Wang under Martin Plenio. Funded by the German Academic Exchange Program (DAAD) Graduate.

Department Of Pharmaceutical Sciences

This project was concerned with the development and formalism of a new measure of error, called the proportion of unexpected correlations (PUC), in regulatory networks reconstructed from parameter correlation data. As a proof of concept for PUC's application in a variety of fields, I reconstructed and analyzed economic networks using data collected from.

Department Of Physics

Developed Monte Carlo simulations of the square-well fluid to test density functional theories. Implemented and developed so-called histogram methods for collecting statistics on low energy system states, which are requisite for understanding thermodynamic properties of the square-well fluid near its critical point. Developed metrics to measure and compare.

Department Of Nuclear Engineering And Radiation Health Physics

Investigated the feasibility of plutonium recycling in pressurized water reactors via iterative mixed-oxide fuel reprocessing. Advisor: Alexey Soldatov.Won the 2014 US Department of Energy Innovations in Fuel Cycle Research AwardTechnical abstract:Plutonium is currently used for nuclear energy production in the form of mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel in a.

College Of Science

Fundamental concepts in topology (MTH 333).

Goddard Space Flight Center

Worked with James Ira Thorpe and Jacob P. Slutsky to build spacecraft models and data analysis routines for the LISA Pathfinder, a joint mission between NASA and the European Space Agency. My primary work was in developing a system routine to characterize microthrusters on the LISA Pathfinder and identify post-launch drifts in their orientations and.

Goddard Space Flight Center

Wrote Monte Carlo simulations of electron transport through an inert gas in a custom-built electron gun as part of a larger investigation into the application of electron guns for mitigation of surface contaminants in both terrestrial and spaceflight applications. Simulation results were used to provide feedback and recommend modifications to gun design..
