Research Interests


My research lies at the interface of molecular electronic structure theory and quantum computing. Specifically, I focus on the development of new quantum computational algorithms for solving the Schrödinger equation and their implementation on high-performance state vector simulators.
Programming is the ‘bench work’ of my research, and I encourage any students interested in physics, computer science, or chemistry to contact me.
