Quantum Computing · ZX Calculus · Machine Learning · Software

I am a research scientist and software developer at Quantinuum, and a PhD student in the Oxford Quantum Group supervised by Aleks Kissinger and Bob Coecke.

My research focuses on the compilation and simulation of quantum computation, often using diagrammatic calculi such as the ZX calculus together with machine learning techniques.
