I am a Lecturer in the Department of Physics, Queen Mary University of London. Meanwhile, I am holding the Schmidt AI in Science Fellowship at the Department of Physics, and Associate Research Fellowship at Reuben College. I did postdoctoral research with Myungshik Kim at Imperial, Tom Gur at Cambridge and Andrew Green at UCL, after my PhD at Oxford supervised by Vlatko Vedral and Andrew Boothroyd. My research lies in the exploration of quantum computing as a means to address problems that present challenges for classical computing. I aim to uncover the potential power of quantum computing, and examine whether it holds advantages in tackling quantum many-body problems. I am also interested in applying AI/quantum AI to real-world problems like materials and molecules. 

I have a broad interest in quantum computing, quantum information, and quantum many-body physics, which include

  • Quantum computing
    • Quantum algorithms for eigenstate problems and dynamics problems
    • Hybrid quantum-classical computing
    • Quantum simulation of molecules and materials
    • Addressing the challenges in the use of near-term quantum devices
  • Quantum error mitigation, quantum error correction, and the intermediate forms
  • Quantum computational chemistry
  • Quantum many-body physics, e.g., high-temperature superconductivity and magnetism
