My name is Siddharth Chander, and I am an undergraduate freshman at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, taking a CS+Physics major. I am interested in quantum hardware (superconducting, trapped ion, and photonic), quantum theory (quantum communication), and computer science (machine learning applications for data analysis). With a strong foundation in computer science and quantum computing and work experiences and research in both fields, I am eager to contribute to innovative projects and continue my exploration of quantum computing and computer science.
