I am interested in the information complexity of physical systems, and computation as a window into classifying this. In the group, I work on the question, “how can we learn using physical systems?” In particular, I work on quantum reservoir computing (QRC), evaluating different loss functions and ansätze for finite shot classification with a focus on insensitivity to shot-noise (working closely with Theodore Ilias). My other project is focused on developing a new readout protocol for superconducting qubits using embedded amplifiers (EA), which achieve optimal amplification on-chip for more scalable readout (working closely with Leon Bello).

I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Physics and minor in Mathematics from Arizona State University. My undergraduate research was split into experimental research engineering superconducting kinetic inductance based devices under Dr. Phil Mauskopf, followed by theoretical research calculating and simulating dissimilar collective emissions of non-Markovian atomic systems coupled to waveguides (eg. asymmetric superradiant effects) under Dr. Kanu Sinha. In my free time, I like writing, drawing, and dancing! I'm also very passionate about teaching.
