I am at a Vice President, research team lead role within the Global Technology Applied Research center of JPMorganChase where we build quantum-inspired classical algorithms for large scale ML and Optimization problems. Prior to that, l have worked on building quantum and classical algorithms for PASQAL and PayPal Inc., and have also worked as a post-doctoral researcher in quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography at the School of Informatics, the University of Edinburgh. My educational qualifications include the Ph.D. degree in Quantum Information from Telecom Paristech, Paris under the supervision of Prof. Iordanis Kerenidis and Prof. Eleni Diamanti. In addition, I obtained my Bachelor's and Master's degree in Physics from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur. I have actively worked in the field of quantum machine learning, verification of quantum devices, and secure communications. My expertise has been in building quantum and quantum-inspired algorithms for multiple applications ranging from finance to more fundamental problems.You could reach out to me either directly here or at niraj.kum22@gmail.com
