I am a fifth-year PhD student interested in harnessing entanglement as a resource for information control in many-body quantum systems. I received my bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth College, where with the guidance of Professor Chandrasekhar Ramanathan I worked on numerically characterizing entanglement spread in experimentally accessible 1D spin chains. We first used spectral methods to determine where in phase space our samples would exhibit many-body localized or thermalized behavior; we then further explored relevant observables to verify our findings in experiment. Now at the IQC, under the guidance of Professor David Cory and Dr. Alexandre Cooper-Roy, I work with a team of students building and deploying a Rydberg atom array quantum simulator, with the end goal of using the simulator to study cutting-edge many-body dynamics research. This project has given me the experience of building a robust AMO experiment from scratch: aligning optics, baking a vacuum cell, installing motorized stages, distributing analog communication and local area networks, building and displaying an environment and device monitoring system, and handling international shipments of expensive equipment. Additionally, I am currently working on finalizing a novel protocol to realize entanglement transport in lattice spin models, such that they can be immediately deployed on Rydberg atom array systems. Outside of research, I enjoy soccer, lifting, a variety of music, cooking/baking, Japanese comedy/TV, and movies/books.
