Quantum theory.
Precise control.

I study how quantum systems behave—and how to control them. Our group connects robust control, physics-informed learning and many-body theory.

Research collaboration

Working across theory,
experiment and industry.

Physical models matter most when they meet the constraints of real devices.

Current projects span superconducting-processor control and calibration, silicon-based quantum devices, and quantum and AI-based algorithms.

Beyond the research paper

Making quantum physics
easier to see.

Teaching, immersive learning and public engagement are part of my work—from university classrooms to conversations about the quantum world.
