About Me 🙋🏻♂️
Hey currently I am driving research in Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Machine Learning at QpiAI, Bangalore.
My reserach focus on scalable quantum models under NISQ constraints, efficient circuit design to balance
expressibility and trainability, and hybrid quantum-classical frameworks for real-world applications.
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.
