Hello and welcome to my academic website. I am a staff research scientist at LG Electronics Toronto AI Lab, spearheading a quantum computing and algorithms research group. My research focuses on developing quantum algorithms, quantum simulation, quantum control, and quantum computing. For more details, see my Research page or arXiv link to see the latest research outputs from my group.
In my past academic life, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Alán Aspuru-Guzik Matter Lab,affiliated with the Department of Computer Science and Chemistry, University of Toronto. I obtained my physics Ph.D. under the supervision of Leong-Chuan Kwek at the Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore.
I enjoy mentoring students and promoting physics across various levels. I had mentored high school, undergraduate and graduate students from diverse backgrounds. For more information, please refer to my curriculum vitae.
Besides physics, I love meditation, reading, long-distance swimming, open water swimming, long-distance running, hiking, scuba diving, and practising my cello.
A fun fact: I have an advanced scuba diving license that allows me to explore the deepest underwater without using any sophisticated equipment.
