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 on bosonic quantum oscillators coupled to qubits
by using fermion to boson and qubit to oscillator mapping approaches.
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 wavefunction methods tailored for
strongly correlated paired fermionic and spin-1/2 many-body systems.
I helped develop
generalizations
of the Dicke state and the elementary symmetric polynomial,
which inspired me to coin the term
binary tree state.
