I am a fixed-term, level-R4 researcher (postdoc) at the European Centre for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas (ECT*). My main research area is quantum simulation, i.e., the usage of quantum computers for simulating physical processes. I am most interested in the physics of the strong interaction, hence my work encompasses the theoretical frameworks for quantum field theory and the connection between such frameworks and quantum algorithms designed for them.
Together with Prof. Indrakshi Raychowdhury (BITS-Pilani), I am known as one of the creators of the loop-string-hadron (LSH) formulation for nonabelian lattice gauge theories. I am also known for seminal works on the resource costs of quantum simulations of gauge theories.
I received my Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the Institute for Nuclear Theory at the University of Washington in 2020, supervised by Prof. David B. Kaplan. I have since held postdoctoral appointments at the University of Maryland and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
