What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and allows me to apply my skills in machine learning and quantum computing to solve real-world problems.

I am a highly motivated and committed collaborative researcher and software developer currently pursuing my M.S. in Computer Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology. With a strong background in Applied Physics and quantum computing, I have developed a proficiency in scientific computing, machine learning, and quantum algorithm design. My academic journey has been marked by significant achievements, including the development of a Quantum GAN model that achieved a KL-Divergence of 0.0009 and a creative quantum sudoku solver.

My experience includes leading the Qiskit Fall Fest as a Lead Organiser, where I curated literature reviews and organized hackathons that engaged hundreds of participants. I have also interned at Velasco Lab, focusing on semiconductor quantum materials and contributing to research expected to lead to publication. I am passionate about applying my expertise to build innovative solutions in machine learning and quantum computing, with a long-term goal of leading cutting-edge research projects that drive technological advancements.
