I received my BS-MS degree from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research- Pune and subsequently joined UNM as a Physics graduate student in Fall 2019. My interest lies in quantum simulation algorithms and quantum speedup. My current work involves using Trotter formulas in a non-stoquastic hamiltonian simulation and also studying crosstalk errors in quantum processors.

I graduated from Lewis & Clark College in 2017 and joined the ECE department at UNM as a grad student in Fall of 2020. I'm interested in what neural networks can teach us about physical systems, specifically quantum systems. Currently, I am working on training neural networks to do quantum simulation. I also work on characterizing crosstalk errors on quantum processors.

After receiving my B.S.E.E and M.E.E from Rice University in 2016, I worked in industry for several years before joining UNM as an ECE graduate student in the fall of 2021. Broadly, my interests are quantum computation and quantum control. Currently, I work on noise mitigation and hardware characterization.
