Biographical Sketch

At the highest level I am interested in enabling simulations of materials on quantum computers.  I attack this challenge from several angles.  On one front, I develop quantum algorithms for dynamic simulations of quantum many-body systems.  One another front, I work on quantum circuit optimization for materials simulations to generate circuits that are short enough to successfully run on near-term quantum computers.  On a final front, I develop high-level programming libraries to facilitate quantum circuit generation for materials simulations for researchers coming from various fields of science.
