Researching hardware-aware quantum compilers. Planning a PhD in quantum computing systems. If you're working on quantum compilers or controls, happy to chat.

About

My main work is in quantum compilation, pulse-level control, and simulation. The site stays intentionally small. Featured papers and project notes live here. Everything else is on GitHub.
