I am a PhD student in Chemistry at Indiana University Bloomington. My research interests include quantum information and quantum computing, with a twofold focus on interdisciplinary applications of quantum computing, such as molecular simulations, as well as the study of quantum resources such as contextuality.
I've previously worked with Prof. Apoorva Patel at the Center for High Energy Physics at IISc as a research assistant, where I focused on developing VQE techniques to model hydrogen bonded systems such as water and ammonia dimers, with the aim of applying these techniques to study spin ice systems with frustrated ground states.
I completed my BS and MS in Physics at the Indian Institute of Science, graduating in 2023. I worked on quantum machine learning for image classification during my undergrad and master's studies at IISc, with Prof. Shayan Srinivasa Garani.
