Biography

Davit Aghamalyan is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Singapore University of Technology and Design. He obtained his PhD from the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore in 2015 and subsequently held a postdoctoral position within Prof. Andrea Simoni’s group at the University of Rennes, France, where he worked on few-body collisions and developed numerical methods for calculating s-wave scattering in optical lattices. From November 2016 to July 2020, he returned to the CQT as a Research Fellow, focusing on quantum technologies involving ring resonators and chiral quantum optics. Aghamalyan then took up a Research Fellow position at Singapore Management University, applying quantum machine learning (QML) to quantum finance for 1.5 years. Currently, he is serving as a Senior Scientist at Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) from 2022 to May 2025, delving into quantum computing-oriented topics including quantum control, quantum combs, and non-Markovian dynamics.
