I am a theoretical condensed matter physicist and my research focuses on physical implementation of quantum computing in solid state devices. I have been studying possible qubit designs and efficient schemes for gate operations between qubits. Current research areas include superconducting qubits, semiconductor quantum dot spin qubits, and quantum algorithms for applications in near-term noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. I am also interested in using novel materials such as van der Waal materials for new types of quantum devices.

We are a part of the LPS Qubit Collaboratory (LQC) program.
"The LPS Qubit Collaboratory (LQC) is a national Quantum Information Science Research Center hosted at the Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the University of Maryland, College Park. The LQC pursues disruptive qubit research, innovative workforce development programs, and deep, collaborative partnerships to tackle some of the hardest open problems in quantum information science and technology."
