I am a PhD student in the physics department, broadly interested in open system dynamics and quantum error correction. My research aims are to understand physical systems undergoing continuous dissipation or weak measurement and apply that intuition to the design of robust quantum algorithms. Currently, I am working on a measurement-driven quantum search algorithm as well as developing a framework for fault-tolerant analog quantum simulation with quantum error detecting codes.
