The Quantum Engineering NRT Fellowship provides an excellent opportunity to perform interdisciplinary research. With the support of my wonderful faculty advisors, I am excited to bring new results to the field. Throughout my time as an NRT fellow, I also look forward to further developing my technical research and science communication skills. Outside of my research projects, I enjoy the strong community at Mines surrounding the Quantum Engineering program. In my free time, I practice jiu-jitsu and ride my bike.

BS, Computer Science, Colorado School of Mines, 2022
Research Interests
- Complex systems (complex networks)
- Machine learning
- Quantum information
- Mathematical physics
Current Project
Generally, I am interested in understanding quantum phase transitions (QPTs) using neural networks and graph analysis techniques. More specifically, I am currently investigating quantum many-body systems with topological order using neural networks as an efficient representation of many-body states.
