Research

My current work is focused on studying how to improve the accuracy of the Solovay-Kitaev algorithm for error-corrected continuous rotations via randomized compilation. More generally, I am interested in understanding and mitigating errors in current quantum devices through an application-centric lens. This includes modeling coherent errors and their effects on algorithms such as VQE.

My research during my PhD was focused on studying an error mitigation technique known as Zero Noise Extrapolation and the nuances of implementing it on the QSCOUT trapped-ion device in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratories. I also worked as a research intern at Zapata Computing during the summer of 2022, focusing on performing error analysis of the Robust Amplitude Estimation algorithm.
