Biography

My research bridges fundamental topics in quantum optics and many-body physics with the design of real-world applications in quantum technologies. A significant part of my work involves developing new implementations for quantum computing and quantum simulation, while also exploring applications of these devices across fields such as science, engineering, and industry. In recent years, I have particularly focused on fostering interdisciplinary connections that enhance the implementation of applications related to quantum computing and simulation. My research in basic science includes a heavy emphasis on the development of numerical techniques for studying equilibrium dynamics and the theory of open many-body quantum systems, particularly in understanding state engineering and the continuous measurement of driven systems. I have a particular interest in the verification of quantum devices, and my theoretical work connects closely with experimental efforts involving neutral atoms, trapped ions, and solid-state devices, especially in the context of superconducting devices and transport systems utilizing oxide heterostructures. I have extensively collaborated with experimental groups working on these systems.
