San Jose, California, United States
I am a Staff Research Scientist at IBM Quantum with a PhD in Computational Chemistry, where I develop practical quantum applications for chemistry and materials. My work spans electronic structure theory, ab initio modeling, molecular simulation, and quantum algorithms, with a focus on creating scalable workflows that integrate traditional high-accuracy chemistry methods with emerging quantum hardware to address real industrial challenges. I’ve led technical efforts across collaborations with Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Moderna, applying quantum and classical methods to problems in catalysis, excited states, metal dissolution, and molecular reactivity. I’m passionate about advancing quantum technologies while driving real industrial impact in chemistry and materials.
