My DPhil work will use the "ABaQuS" Barium trapped-ion experiment to demonstrate improvements that help make practical quantum computers a reality and probe questions at the heart of quantum mechanics.
Before coming to Oxford, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Northeastern University, Boston, with a Bachelor's in Computer Science/Physics. During my time there, I worked on two software development co-ops at CNC Software working on the API team and at Amazon Robotics developing algorithms for the efficient allocation of robotic resources on warehouse floors.
On the research side of things, I worked in Dr. Devesh Tiwari's research group at Northeastern, developing techniques for NISQ-era quantum machine learning algorithms. Most recently, I finished a year at Acceleron Fusion, designing calibration experiments, simulation, and data analysis for a groundbreaking muon-catalyzed nuclear fusion experiment.
During my undergrad, I also had the opportunity to teach quantum computing to middle and high school students through The Coding School's "Qubit x Qubit" program. Having thoroughly enjoyed this experience, I am looking forward to more opportunities for physics outreach during my DPhil.
