His main interests lie in exploring logic processing with existing quantum technologies and developing novel quantum systems for next generation tech.  Major themes of his research include applied quantum computing and algorithm deployment as a tool for benchmarking and certification.

“The quantum revolution is already happening, and this area between NISQ and fault tolerance is probably one of the most exciting technological developments we as a species will witness; new technologies, new ways of dealing with data, and the opportunity to start solving problems we couldn’t even have thought of in the past. But there are so many problems that still need to be solved so it’s exciting to be able to contribute to this”
