Milad Marvian

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico and also a member of the Center for Quantum Information and Control (CQuIC). Before joining UNM, I was a postdoctoral associate at MIT for two years. I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical & Computer Engineering in 2018 at the University of Southern California.
