I'm a Research Associate at the Quantum Software Lab, University of Edinburgh, where I'm working on the Quantum Computing and Quantum Networks Mission Pilot with Dr Joschka Roffe, integrating SEEQC's scalable readout system with Rigetti's Quantum Computer. Before this, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at University College London (UCL) in Professor Dan Browne's group, focusing on Quantum Low-Density Parity Check Codes to develop efficient fault-tolerant logical gates and linear-time decoders. I completed my Ph.D. in Quantum Error Correction in February 2025 at Royal Holloway University of London, with my thesis titled 'Quantum Error Correction with Transversal non-Clifford Gates,' supervised by Dr. Alastair Kay.
