Greetings!
I'm a scientist with an applied experimental and theoretical background, focused on quantum computing and fundamental physics. I hold a permanent research position at IBM Quantum, at TJ Watson.
Research (see page below). I study the fundamental nature of quantum predictability and randomness, scalable hardware architectures for quantum computers, electromagnetic and Hamiltonian design of superconducting quantum circuits, and more ... I also develop and lead a quantum computing design and software team.
Background. I received my Ph.D. in Applied Physics from Yale University, working in the Devoret Quantum Lab. My B.A. in Physics is from UC Berkeley with Irfan Siddiqi's Quantum Nano-Electronics Lab.
Science outreach and leadership. I founded and led a multi-university science-outreach organization, Open Labs, to inspire underrepresented students to pursue careers in the sciences. For the impact of Open Labs at Yale and throughout the North East and my six years of leadership, I received the Yale-Jefferson Award for Public Service.
Executive leadership. I currently serve as a Member of the Executive Board of the Yale Graduate Alumni Association (GSAA). I also helped found and lead the IBM Quantum Live Seminar Series.

Some Highlights
Thrilled to share that I have been named on the MIT Technology Review’s global list of 35 Under 35 Innovators! I feel truly humbled and super excited to be recognized alongside the inspiring honorees who have done extraordinary work. Read more here, at the MIT Tech Review, or check out the IBM press release.
Predicting and reversing quantum jumps mid-flight
My dissertation work was selected as one of the Top 50 Scientific Discoveries of the Year
The results I published in a Nature article entitled Catching and Reversing Quantum Jump Mid-Flight , based on my dissertation, was selected as the top Math/Physical Sciences discovery in Discover’s special issue The Top 50 Stories of the Year.
The work became the most liked and read Yale News story of the year.
It was globally featured in mainstream news channels, including The Guardian, Le Monde, Wired, and live interviews with NPR and others.
I’ll speak on a panel for Yale Alumni in webinar focused on Education Access and Resources for Underserved Youth. Read more here…
