About me

I am an Applied Scientist at the Amazon Center for Quantum Computing. I develop tools and techniques to design and simulate quantum chips that support our mission to build a fault-tolerant quantum computer.
Prior to joining Amazon, I was a Senior (Scientific) Software Engineer for the CliMA project at Caltech, where I contributed to developing robust and accurate open-source models for climate modeling in Julia.
What drives me:
- Innovating at the intersection between software and science (in particular for climate and sustainability)
- Increasing the recognition of software as a key scientific output in academia
- Making scientific software easy to use, maintain, and extend
- Community building and mentoring
My background is computational physics. I obtained my PhD at the Astronomy Department at The University of Arizona, where I was a NASA Future Investigator for Space Sciences and a Frontera Fellow. I worked with Vasilis Paschalidis on various topics in gravitational physics. My research was awarded the 2024 Nicholas Metropolis Award for Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Work in Computational Physics. You can find more details about me in the More about me page, and more about my past Research page.
