I love taking the wild, weird rules of quantum mechanics and convincing them to solve real-world problems with code. I'm bouncing between research, open-source development, and community building, with a soft spot for quantum optimization and information theory.
Here's what I'm currently excited about:
-
🔬 Research: Throwing really hard problems at quantum annealers to see what sticks. Right now, that's optimizing vehicle routes (CVRPTW) and designing civil engineering layouts without getting a headache.
-
💻 Open-Source: Adding my small piece to the giant puzzle of open-source quantum software, with contributions to
|toqito⟩andmqt-bench(you can see my little pixel avatar lurking in mqt-bench's latest documentation ). I am having an amazing time as a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) '25 contributor with NumFOCUS - see my journey in all its glory right here! -
🌍 Community Building: Making sure no one is too scared to start their quantum journey. Trying to build a home for Girls in Quantum in Bangladesh.
-
👨🏫 Teaching & Mentorship: I truly enjoy the "Aha!" moments in teaching. I've had the privilege of creating a few while instructing Python for Stanford's Code in Place and supporting ThinkingBeyond's BeyondQuantum program.
🏃♂️ A friend said listening to Leonard Susskind's lectures on Quantum Mechanics while running on a treadmill can be therapeutic.
