Bio

I am a research assistant supervised by Dr. Joe Goodwin, working on developing scalable approaches to design in ion traps. We are using microcavities built into modularised ion traps to enhance the collection of single photons and then creating remote entanglement mediated by photon interactions. This process permits all-to-all connectivity between ion traps and is a strong candidate for scalable quantum computation.

Before coming to Oxford, I completed my undergraduate studies at Imperial College London and then moved to the University of Sydney to work in the Quantum Control Laboratory. Over my 2.5 years there, I completed the research-oriented M.Phil., specialising in developing novel quantum control methods for entangling gates, building a dual-species ion trap, and simulating quantum chemistry on trapped-ion systems. I was supervised by Prof. Michael Biercuk and Dr. Ting Rei Tan, and during my time there, I co-authored four publications.

Moving forward, I would like to explore different mixed qudit-boson approaches and large-ion entangling gates on the connected systems we are developing, as I believe this could be a fascinating avenue for progressing towards scalable quantum information processing.
