About Me
Hi, this is my page, but you likely already knew that. I am an undergraduate student at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. I am majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics, and am enamored with the intersection of the two, namely algorithmic design, machine learning, quantum computation and formal verification.
Relevant Work Experience
I have been an undergraduate researcher in thr Jung Research Group here at Purdue since Spring 2020. In the Spring, the main focus was on gaining experience with quantum computers, and I have worked with gate-based IBM-Q public machines (via Qiskit and OpenQASM), as well as quantum annealers such as D-Wave's chimera and pegasus machines. In the Summer I worked on reseaech that investigated using TUnfold to "unsmear" the output state distributions from IBM-Q machines. In the Fall I did work with hybrid quantum computing using D-Wave's LEAP framework.
As of Fall 2020, I know Java, C, Python, and have used C++, Bash, JavaScript, PHP, MATLAB (Octave), Mathematica, Assembly (x86_64), and SQL in some capacity. Please do not make me write in assembly or JS. As for markup languages, I know LaTeX, HTML, and CSS. I'm comfortable with Debian and its derivatives on both workstations and servers, and I'm familar with Drupal 7/8, Android Studio, Raspberry Pi, and breadboarding.
