Hi! My name is Christian Querrey. Originally from the Chicagoland area, I moved to Ohio in 2018 to pursue my B.S. in Mathematics and Physics and B.A. in Music at Case Western Reserve University. There, I was involved in computational biophysics research with Dr. Michael Hinczewski where I worked on numerical models of Wright-Fisher evolution under selective pressures. Pivoting towards quantum information science (QIS) later in my degree, I worked with Dr. K.C. Chen at the University of South Florida where I wrote reports on quantum memory and boson sampling schemes. My undergraduate thesis was "Towards a Quantum-Secured Cryptocurrency" which focused on the use of QIS to secure existing cryptocurrency schemes, winning CWRU's Polykarp Kusch prize for excellent undergraduate thesis.

In 2022, I joined the Ohio State Physics Graduate Program as a condensed matter experimentalist. In my free time, I enjoy playing tuba, making/listening to electronic music, and sharpening my card game skills.

Current research: My research focuses on understanding and utilizing the magnetic properties of vanadium tetracyanoethylene (V[TCNE]x) for uses in QIS and spintronics.
