I am currently a research fellow at the Harvard Quantum Initiative (HQI), specializing in quantum information theory and machine learning. I work closely with experimentalists across a variety of quantum platforms—including neutral atom tweezer arrays, optical lattices, and superconducting qubits.

My interests lie in both near-term and fault-tolerant applications of programmable quantum systems including:

  1. Analog and digital quantum simulation.
  2. Quantum statistical learning (Hamiltonian learning, device benchmarking).
  3. Quantum optimal control for efficient gate design.
  4. Machine learning for quantum information science.
