Since joining ORNL, I have had the privilege of working closely with members of the Quantum Computational Science group, the Quantum Science Center, and the Physics Division in quantum information science research, with a focus on quantum computing. Current topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
- mathematics of expressiveness in quantum circuits
- development for the (fault-tolerant) quantum software stack
- non-local game models for quantum algorithm design
- software sustainability in hpc-qc workflows
- uncertainty quantification in quantum computing
