Work History
Trapped Ion Quantum Information, Quantum Simulation of 1D and 2D Systems
1 Year 3 Months- Designing a radio-frequency ytterbium ion trap with 4.25+ MHz secular frequencies.
- Implemented DC voltage control on ytterbium ion trap electrodes for 1D chains and 2D crystals.
- Applied computational models to predict quantum dynamics in small gold nanoclusters for emulation on atomic, molecular, and optical quantum computing platforms.
Electricity and Magnetism Lab
3 Months- Instructed and graded undergraduate labs in electricity, magnetism, and circuit building for 48 students.
Quantum Walks and Monte Carlo Simulations
2 Months- Completed a six-week industry project on universal statistical simulators and quantum walks for 1D quantum systems.
American Physical Society (APS) National Mentoring Community
2 Months- Received mentorship from Dr. Vaibhav Sharma on career advancement in physics and discussed literature on quantum information, quantum dynamics, and complex quantum interactions.
Development of Novel Quantum Algorithms
2 Months- Demonstrated error mitigation in a quantum circuit modeling 2D materials.
Quantum Entanglement in Curved Space-Time
1 Year 11 Months- Modeled the time-dependent information entropy of an entangled electron-positron pair near a spherical black hole.
Supplemental Instruction Leader
4 Months- Tutored Calculus I students, supporting weekly worksheet study sessions, test review sessions, and office hours.
