Quantum Frontiers: Explorations in Physics and Computing

Welcome

I am a research scientist currently working at the NASA Ames Research Center, in California, USA, and an incoming Assistant Professor at the Department of Physics of the University of Texas at Austin. My background is in theoretical and computational condensed matter physics. I received my Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge, UK in 2021, and I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National lab between 2021 and 2023.

I am interested in understanding the complex physics that arises in the microscopic scales of materials, where the principles of quantum mechanics dominate. My theoretical work goes hand in hand with using computing technologies, including quantum computing and classical high-performance computing on powerful supercomputers.
