About Me 🙋🏻‍♂️

I am a Quantum Engineer and researcher working at the intersection of quantum algorithms, quantum machine learning, and quantum-inspired optimization. My research focuses on designing scalable, low-depth quantum models under NISQ constraints, with particular emphasis on entanglement characterization, dynamic circuits, and hybrid quantum-classical frameworks.

I hold an M.Tech in Quantum Technologies from IIT Jodhpur, where my work spanned quantum teleportation using dynamic circuits, multi-qubit entanglement classification with quantum neural networks, and optimization problems using QAOA and quantum annealing. I have co-authored peer-reviewed and preprint publications and actively contribute to quantum education through mentoring, workshops, and invited talks.

Beyond research, I am deeply interested in building sustainable quantum ecosystems—bridging theory, hardware, education, and industry. My vision is to contribute to the development of scalable quantum systems while nurturing the quantum researchers through teaching and community leadership.
