PhD Candidate in Physics • Quantum Simulation
Building high-performance quantum simulation software. As lead developer of new G4CMP capabilities, my ongoing research focuses on modeling and predicting qubit decoherence and noise for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computers.
I completed my Bachelor of Science at Harding University in 2023 with four majors: Software Development (Computer Science), Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Physics.
I’m currently pursuing my PhD in Physics at Texas A&M University (expected May 2028) in the Toback Research Group, where I lead development of new G4CMP capabilities for qubit decoherence modeling.
I’m seeking 2027 PhD research internships and full-time roles starting in 2028 in quantum simulation, GPU/HPC scientific computing, and quantum error correction, building software and tools that make quantum computers practical and scalable.
I love writing code that bridges physics and high-performance computing, especially simulations that help design better quantum hardware.
I am the lead developer of new capabilities in G4CMP, an open-source extension to the Geant4 toolkit that simulates phonon and charge transport in cryogenic semiconductor crystals.
This software is used worldwide for modeling low-temperature quantum devices and superconducting circuits. I work directly with the core development team on code enhancements and experimental validation.
For my PhD I am extending G4CMP with new capabilities to detect and predict decoherence in qubits — one of the biggest challenges in building large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers.
