I am a quantum engineer who develops advanced simulation techniques to understand quantum materials and devices. My research is interdisciplinary and is a mix of condensed matter physics, electrical engineering, material science, and computational science. One of my major focus area is in modeling and simulation of solid-state qubits based on quantum dots, dopants, and defects. I have developed software tools that can model various aspects of qubits such as electronic structure, response to electric and magnetic fields, many-body interactions, and spin-lattice and spin-spin interactions. I am also interested in low energy electronics and simulation of emerging materials such as 2D materials and topological materials. I work closely with various groups to understand experimental measurements and to develop new device ideas.
