What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation in quantum technologies and theoretical research.

I am a dedicated postdoctoral research associate with a strong background in theoretical chemistry and quantum technology. My academic journey culminated in a Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Science, where I explored the intricate dynamics of hydrogen atom tunneling in catecholate monoanion. This research not only deepened my understanding of quantum mechanics but also honed my skills in computational methods and scientific coding.

Currently, I am engaged in cutting-edge research at the Quantum Technology Initiative, where I focus on simulating properties of strongly correlated systems. My previous experience at Academia Sinica in Taiwan allowed me to investigate proton transfer mechanisms in water, further enhancing my expertise in quantum simulations and data analysis. I am passionate about contributing to advancements in quantum computing and am eager to collaborate on innovative projects that push the boundaries of scientific understanding.
