I am a PhD student working on the Fast Gates experiment in the Ion Trap Quantum Computing group. My academic path began in Singapore, where I completed my undergraduate studies at the National University of Singapore (NUS). During my last year there, I completed my bachelor’s thesis focusing on condensation-like transitions of excitons in thin layers of transition metal dichalcogenides.
Before starting my PhD, I also gained research experience across different areas of quantum technologies, including an internship at a quantum computing startup and a year at the Singapore Centre for Quantum Technologies, where I worked on gate schemes for superconducting qubits.
More broadly, I am passionate about cultural exploration, learning languages, and travelling, and I have been involved in various volunteering initiatives. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, reading about history and philosophy, and enthusiastically boasting about Italian food.
