About Me

I am a Quantum Information Theorist at RTX BBN Technologies (Cambridge, MA) working with the Quantum, Photonics, and Computing BU. 

I completed my Ph.D. in Optical Sciences from the Wyant College of Optical Sciences, University of Arizona. I was affiliated with the Quantum Photonic Applications group, and later, the Photonic Quantum Systems Group led by Prof. Saikat Guha. I was also a member of the NSF ERC Center for Quantum Networks (CQN). 

My doctoral research focussed on discrete variable and continuous-variable quantum information processing and communication schemes, exploring near-term applications and modeling architectures that will aid in constructing the future quantum internet. I also explored use cases of the quantum internet in tasks for distributed and entanglement-assisted sensing.

I spent the summers of 2022 (May-Aug) and 2023 (Aug) at the Quantum Photonics Laboratory at the Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), working with Dr. Kevin C. Chen (currently at HRL Laboratories), Dr. Matt Trusheim, and Prof. Dirk Englund on diamond color center-based spin quantum memories. I also provided theoretical system modeling support for a federal subcontract with Qunett, a quantum networking startup based in Boston.
