I am a quantum chemist with expertise in quantum mechanics, linear algebra,
scientific computing, and science communication.
I am currently a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Chemistry at
Yale University.
As a member of the
Batista lab,
one of my current research interests is to explore the potential of
hybrid bosonic-qubit quantum computers for molecular sciences.
I led the development of the first electronic structure
algorithm
that can be implemented using bosonic quantum oscillators coupled to qubits.
I have a Ph.D. in Chemistry from
Rice University,
where I was a member of the
Scuseria group.
My doctoral
thesis
focused on developing quantum many-body methods tailored for
strongly correlated paired fermionic and spin-1/2 systems.
I helped develop
generalizations
of the Dicke state and the elementary symmetric polynomial,
which inspired me to coin the term
binary tree state.
